Isaiah 42:16 Meaning Explained (KJV)

Isaiah 42:16 speaks to the moments when the way ahead is unknown. Its picture is honest: blind travelers on an unfamiliar road. God promises to lead them, make darkness light, set crooked things straight, and not forsake them. The surrounding chapter places this promise alongside the Lord's Servant, God's action for his people, and Israel's blindness. The road may not become easy or clear all at once. The hope is that God knows the way and gives light for the next faithful step. Isaiah 42:16 "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."
