4  Every valley shall be lifted up,

and every mountain and hill be made low;

the uneven ground shall become level,

and the rough places a plain.

16  And I will lead the blind

in a way that they do not know,

in paths that they have not known

I will guide them.

I will turn the darkness before them into light,

^tthe rough places into level ground.

These are the things I do,

and I do not forsake them.

2  “I will go before you

and ^qlevel the exalted places,¹

I will ^rbreak in pieces the doors of bronze

and cut through the bars of iron,

11  And I will make all my ^ymountains a road,

and my highways shall be raised up.
