Isaiah 42
42:1

Behold my servant,5650 whom I uphold;8551 mine elect,972 in whom my soul5315 delighteth;7521 I have put5414 my spirit7307 upon him: he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 to the Gentiles.1471

42:2

He shall not cry,6817 nor lift up,5375 nor cause his voice6963 to be heard8085 in the street.2351

42:3

A bruised7533 reed7070 shall he not break,7665 and the smoking3544 flax6594 shall he not quench:3518 he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 unto truth.571

42:4

He shall not fail3543 nor be discouraged,7533 till he have set7760 judgment4941 in the earth:776 and the isles339 shall wait3176 for his law.8451

42:5

Thus saith559 El410 Yahweh,3068 he that created1254 the heavens,8064 and stretched them out;5186 he that spread forth7554 the earth,776 and that which cometh out6631 of it; he that giveth5414 breath5397 unto the people5971 upon it, and spirit7307 to them that walk1980 therein:

42:6

I Yahweh3068 have called7121 thee in righteousness,6664 and will hold2388 thine hand,3027 and will keep5341 thee, and give5414 thee for a covenant1285 of the people,5971 for a light216 of the Gentiles;1471

42:7

To open6491 the blind5787 eyes,5869 to bring out3318 the prisoners616 from the prison,4525 and them that sit3427 in darkness2822 out of the prison3608 house.1004

42:8

I am Yahweh:3068 that is my name:8034 and my glory3519 will I not give5414 to another,312 neither my praise8416 to graven images.6456

42:9

Behold, the former things7223 are come to pass,935 and new things2319 do I declare:5046 before they spring forth6779 I tell8085 you of them.

42:10

Sing7891 unto Yahweh3068 a new2319 song,7892 and his praise8416 from the end7097 of the earth,776 ye that go down3381 to the sea,3220 and all that is therein;4393 the isles,339 and the inhabitants3427 thereof.

42:11

Let the wilderness4057 and the cities5892 thereof lift up5375 their voice, the villages2691 that Kedar6938 doth inhabit:3427 let the inhabitants3427 of the rock5553 sing,7442 let them shout6681 from the top7218 of the mountains.2022

42:12

Let them give7760 glory3519 unto Yahweh,3068 and declare5046 his praise8416 in the islands.339

42:13

Yahweh3068 shall go forth3318 as a mighty man,1368 he shall stir up5782 jealousy7068 like a man376 of war:4421 he shall cry,7321 yea, roar;6873 he shall prevail1396 against his enemies.341

42:14

I have long time5769 holden my peace;2814 I have been still,2790 and refrained662 myself: now will I cry6463 like a travailing woman;3205 I will destroy5395 and devour7602 at once.3162

42:15

I will make waste2717 mountains2022 and hills,1389 and dry up3001 all their herbs;6212 and I will make7760 the rivers5104 islands,339 and I will dry up3001 the pools.98

42:16

And I will bring3212 the blind5787 by a way1870 that they knew3045 not; I will lead1869 them in paths5410 that they have not known:3045 I will make7760 darkness4285 light216 before6440 them, and crooked things4625 straight.4334 These things1697 will I do6213 unto them, and not forsake5800 them.

42:17

They shall be turned5472 back,268 they shall be greatly1322 ashamed,954 that trust982 in graven images,6459 that say559 to the molten images,4541 Ye are our mighty ones.430

42:18

Hear,8085 ye deaf;2795 and look,5027 ye blind,5787 that ye may see.7200

42:19

Who is blind,5787 but my servant?5650 or deaf,2795 as my messenger4397 that I sent?7971 who is blind5787 as he that is perfect,7999 and blind5787 as Yahweh's3068 servant?5650

42:20

Seeing7200 many things,7227 but thou observest8104 not; opening6491 the ears,241 but he heareth8085 not.

42:21

Yahweh3068 is well pleased2654 for his righteousness'6664 sake; he will magnify1431 the law,8451 and make it honourable.142

42:22

But this is a people5971 robbed962 and spoiled;8154 they are all of them snared6351 in holes,2352 and they are hid2244 in prison3608 houses:1004 they are for a prey,957 and none delivereth;5337 for a spoil,4933 and none saith,559 Restore.7725

42:23

Who among you will give ear238 to this? who will hearken7181 and hear8085 for the time to come?268

42:24

Who gave5414 Jacob3290 for a spoil,4933 and Israel3478 to the robbers?962 did not Yahweh,3068 he against whom2098 we have sinned?2398 for they would14 not walk1980 in his ways,1870 neither were they obedient8085 unto his law.8451

42:25

Therefore he hath poured8210 upon him the fury2534 of his anger,639 and the strength5807 of battle:4421 and it hath set him on fire3857 round about,5439 yet he knew3045 not; and it burned1197 him, yet he laid7760 it not to heart.3820
