Context of Isaiah 42:12
10Sing to the Lord a brand new song! Praise him from the horizon of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, you coastlands and those who live there! 11Let the desert and its cities shout out, the towns where the nomads of Kedar live! Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully; let them shout loudly from the mountaintops. Let them give the Lord the honor he deserves; let them praise his deeds in the coastlands. 13The Lord emerges like a hero, like a warrior he inspires himself for battle; he shouts, yes, he yells, he shows his enemies his power. 14“I have been inactive for a long time; I kept quiet and held back. Like a woman in labor I groan; I pant and gasp.
