Isaiah 42

1Behold my servantH5650 whom I uphold, mine elect [in whom] my soulH5315 delighteth! I will putH5414 my SpiritH7307 upon him; he shall bringH3318 forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the nationsH1471. 2He shall not cryH6817, nor liftH5375 up, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351. 3A bruised reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665, and smoking flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518: he shall bringH3318 forthH3318 judgmentH4941 according to truthH571. 4He shall not faint nor be in haste, till he have setH7760 justiceH4941 in the earthH776: and the isles shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. 5ThusH3541 saith 1GodH410, Jehovah, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064 and stretchedH5186 them out, he that spreadH5186 forth the earthH776 and its productions, 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 takeH2388 holdH2388 of thy handH3027; and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the nationsH1471, 7to openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bringH3318 forthH3318 the prisonerH616 from the prison, them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the houseH1004 of restraint. 8I am Jehovah, that is my nameH8034; and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to another, neither my praiseH8416 to graven images. 9Behold, the formerH7223 thingsH7223 are comeH935 to pass, and newH2319 thingsH7223 do I declareH5046: before they springH6779 forth will I cause you to hearH8085 them. 10SingH7891 unto Jehovah a newH2319 songH7892, his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776, ye that goH3381 down to the seaH3220, and all that is therein, the isles and their inhabitantsH3427. 11Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof liftH5375 up [their voice], the villages that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427; let the inhabitantsH3427 of the rock 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 jealousyH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he will cryH7321, yea, he will shoutH7321; he will shew himself mightyH1368 against his enemiesH341. 14LongH5769 time have I holden my peace; I have been still, I have restrainedH662 myself: I will cry like a woman that travaileth; I will blow and pant at once. 15I will lay waste mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dryH3001 up all their herbs; and I will makeH7760 the riversH5104 islandsH339, and I 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 thingsH1697 straight. These thingsH1697 will I do unto them, and not forsakeH5800 them. 17They shall be turnedH5472 backH268, they shall be covered with shameH954, that confide in graven imagesH4541, that sayH559 to the molten imagesH4541, Ye are our 2godsH430. 18— HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH7200, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200. 19Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? and deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 whom I sentH7971? Who is blindH5787 as he in whom I have trusted, and blindH5787 as Jehovah's servantH5650, 20— seeingH7200 manyH7227 things, and thou observest not? With openedH6491 earsH241, he heareth not. 21Jehovah had delightH2654 [in him] for his righteousness' sakeH4616: he hath magnifiedH1431 the lawH8451, and made it honourable. 22But this is a peopleH5971 robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and hiddenH2244 in prison-houses; they are becomeH1961 a preyH957, and none delivereth, — a spoilH957, and none saith, RestoreH7725. 23Who among you will giveH238 earH238 to this, [who] will hearken and hearH8085 what is to come? 24Who gaveH5414 JacobH3290 for a spoilH962, and IsraelH3478 to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinnedH2398? And they wouldH14 not walkH1980 in his waysH1870, neither did they hearken unto his lawH8451. 25And he hath pouredH8210 upon him the fury of his angerH639, and the strength of battleH4421: and it setH7760 him on fire roundH5439 about, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he took it not to heartH3820.
