1“Here isH2005 My ServantH5650, whom I upholdH8551,My Chosen OneH972, in whom My soulH5315 delightsH7521.I will putH5414 My SpiritH7307 on HimH5921,and He will bringH3318 justiceH4941 to the nationsH1471.2He will notH3808 cry outH6817 or raiseH5375 His voice,norH3808 make His voiceH6963 heardH8085 in the streetsH2351.3A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 He will notH3808 breakH7665and a smolderingH3544 wickH6594 He will notH3808 extinguishH3518;He will faithfullyH571 bring forthH3318 justiceH4941.4He will notH3808 grow weakH3543 H3808 or discouragedH7533 1beforeH5704 He has establishedH7760 justiceH4941 on the earthH776.In His lawH8451 the islandsH339 will put their hopeH3176.”2

5This is whatH3541 GodH410 the LORDH3068 saysH559—He who createdH1254 the heavensH8064and stretched them outH5186,who spread outH7554 the earthH776 and its offspringH6631,who givesH5414 breathH5397 to the peopleH5971 on itH5921and lifeH7307 to those who walkH1980 in it:

6“IH589, the LORDH3068, have called youH7121for a righteous purposeH6664,and I will take holdH2388 of your handH3027.I will keep youH5341 and appoint youH5414to be a covenantH1285 for the peopleH5971and a lightH216 to the nationsH1471,7to openH6491 the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787,to bringH3318 prisonersH616 out of the dungeonH4525and those sittingH3427 in darknessH2822out from the prisonH3608 houseH1004.

8IH589 am the LORDH3068;thatH1931 is My nameH8034!I will notH3808 yieldH5414 My gloryH3519 to anotherH312or My praiseH8416 to idolsH6456.9BeholdH2009, the former thingsH7223 have happenedH935,and now IH589 declareH5046 new thingsH2319.BeforeH2962 they spring forthH6779I proclaim themH8085 to youH853.”
