LET YOUR LITTLE LIGHT SHINE

The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, 

he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war:

he shall cry, yea, roar; 

he shall prevail against his enemies.

I have long time holden my peace; 

I have been still, and refrained myself:

now will I cry like a travailing woman; 

I will destroy and devour at once.

I will make waste mountains and hills, 

and dry up all their herbs; 

and I will make the rivers islands, 

and I will dry up the pools.

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.

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.

Hear, ye deaf; 

and look, ye blind, 

that ye may see.

Who is blind, but my servant? 

or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? 

who is blind as he that is perfect, 

and blind as the LORD’S servant?

Seeing many things, 

but thou observest not; 

opening the ears, but he heareth not.

The LORD is well pleased 

for his righteousness’ sake; 

he will magnify the law, 

and make it honourable.

Isaiah 42:16-21
