“But those who trust in idols and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame.”
Isaiah 42:17 (BSB)
Context Reading
15I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn the rivers into dry land and drain the marshes. 16I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them. 17But those who trust in idols and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame. 18Listen, you deaf ones; look, you blind ones, that you may see! 19Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?
