¹⁶ I will bring the blind by a way that they don't know; in paths that they don't know will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

³⁰ To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
