11. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout {Heb. command} from the top of the mountains.
12. Let them give glory unto the Lord and declare his praise in the islands.
13. The Lord shall go forth as a giant; he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war; he shall cry out a battle cry; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14. I have long time held my peace; I have been still and refrained myself; now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15. I will make waste mountains and hills and dry up all their grass, and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16. And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will cause them to walk 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.
17. They shall be turned back; they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
18. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19. Who is blind, but my slave? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the slave of the Lord,
20. who sees many things and does not warn; who opens his ears and does not hear.
21. The Lord, jealous for his righteousness, will magnify the law and enlarge it.
22. Therefore this people is robbed and spoiled; all of them shall be snared in holes and hid in prison houses; they shall be for a prey, and no one delivers; for a spoil, and no one saith, Restore.
23. Who among you will give ear to this? Who will warn and consider regarding the time to come?
