“I have been silent a long time.I have been quiet and restrained myself.Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.”
Isaiah 42:14 (WEB)
Context Reading
12Let them give glory to Yahweh,and declare his praise in the islands. 13Yahweh will go out like a mighty man.He will stir up zeal like a man of war.He will raise a war cry.Yes, he will shout aloud.He will triumph over his enemies. 14“I have been silent a long time.I have been quiet and restrained myself.Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant. 15I will destroy mountains and hills,and dry up all their herbs.I will make the rivers islands,and will dry up the pools. 16I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know.I will lead them in paths that they don’t know.I will make darkness light before them,and crooked places straight.I will do these things,and I will not forsake them.
