About God's loving guidance…

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. † But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame. † "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! † This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. † Do not trust in deceptive words and say, "This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!" † If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, † if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, † then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever. † "But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. † He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." † But I will rescue you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be handed over to those you fear. † I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.' " †
