In context

15I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.

16And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

— Isaiah 42:17 —

18Hear, ye deaf, and look up, ye blind, to see.

19And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yea, the servants of God have been made blind.
