11. The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.
12. They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
13. Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.
14. I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.
15. I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
16. And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
17. Removed backward--utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye [are] our gods.'
18. Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
19. Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?
20. Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
21. Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
22. And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes--all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, `Restore.'
23. Who among you giveth ear [to] this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
