Isaiah 42:1-17

1Behold, my servantH5650, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soulH5315 delighteth: I have putH5414 my SpiritH7307 upon him; he will bringH3318 forthH3318 justiceH4941 to the Gentiles. 2He will not cryH6817, nor liftH5375 up his voiceH6963, nor cause it to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351. 3A bruised reedH7070 will he not breakH7665, and a dimly burning wickH6594 will he not quenchH3518: he will bringH3318 forthH3318 justiceH4941 in truthH571. 4He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have setH7760 justiceH4941 in the earthH776; and the isles shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451.

5ThusH3541 saith GodH410 Jehovah, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretchedH5186 them forth; he that spreadH5186 abroad the earthH776 and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breathH7307 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein: 6I, Jehovah, have calledH7121 thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388 thy handH3027, and will keepH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the Gentiles; 7to openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bringH3318 out the prisonersH616 from the dungeon, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the prison-house. 8I am Jehovah, that is my nameH8034; and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to another, neither my praiseH8416 unto graven images. 9Behold, the formerH7223 thingsH7223 are comeH935 to pass, and newH2319 thingsH7223 do I declareH5046; before they springH6779 forth I tellH5046 you of them.

10SingH7891 unto Jehovah a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; ye that goH3381 down to the seaH3220, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. 11Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof liftH5375 up their voice, the villages that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427; let the inhabitantsH3427 of SelaH5554 singH7442, let them shoutH7442 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022. 12Let them give gloryH3519 unto Jehovah, and declareH5046 his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339. 13Jehovah will goH3318 forthH3318 as a mightyH1368 manH376; he will stirH5782 up his zealH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he will cryH7321, yea, he will shoutH7321 aloud; he will do mightily against his enemiesH341.

14I have longH5769 time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant togetherH3162. 15I will lay waste mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dryH3001 up all their herbs; and I will makeH7760 the riversH5104 islandsH339, and will dryH3001 up the poolsH98. 16And I will bring the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knowH3045 not; in pathsH5410 that they knowH3045 not will I leadH1869 them; I will makeH7760 darkness lightH216 before them, and crooked placesH4285 straight. These thingsH1697 will I do, and I will not forsakeH5800 them. 17They shall be turnedH5472 backH268, they shall be utterly putH954 to shameH954, that trustH982 in graven imagesH4541, that sayH559 unto molten imagesH4541, Ye are our godsH430.
