15 I will destroy the hills and mountains. I will dry up all the plants that grow there. I will change rivers to dry land and dry up pools of water.
16 Then I will lead the blind along a path they never knew to places where they have never been before. I will change darkness into light for them. I will make the rough ground smooth. I will do these things for them; I will not abandon my people.
17 But some of them have left me. They say to their gold statues, ‘You are my gods.’ They trust their false gods, but they will be disappointed and shamed.
18 “Deaf people, listen to me! Blind people, look and see!
19 In all the world, no one is more blind than my servant. No one is more deaf than my messenger. No one is more blind than my chosen people, the servant of the Lord.
20 My people see what they should do, but they do not obey me. They can hear with their ears, but they refuse to listen to me.”
21 The Lord wants them to do what is right. He wants them to honor his wonderful teachings.
