Isaias 42:12-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.

13. The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.

14. I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.

15. I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.

16. And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.

17. They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
