Isaiah 42:5-9

5God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says,

6“I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations.

7You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons.

8“I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.

9Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens.”
