I will bring the blind by a way that they don't know; in paths that they don't know will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

And I will make the blind walk by a way they have not known; on paths they have not known, I will make them tread. I will make darkness into light to their faces, and rough places into level ground. I will do these things, and I will not abandon them.
