Isaiah 42:1-9
1Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471. 2He shall not cryH6817, nor lift upH5375, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351. 3A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665, and the smokingH3544 flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 unto truthH571.12 4He shall not failH3543 nor be discouragedH7533, till he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451.3
5Thus saithH559 GodH410 YhwhH3068, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretched them outH5186; he that spread forthH7554 the earthH776, and that which cometh outH6631 of it; he that givethH5414 breathH5397 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein: 6I YhwhH3068 have calledH7121 thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388 thine handH3027, and will keepH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the GentilesH1471; 7To openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bring outH3318 the prisonersH616 from the prisonH4525, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the prisonH3608 houseH1004. 8I am YhwhH3068: that is my nameH8034: and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to anotherH312, neither my praiseH8416 to graven imagesH6456. 9Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935, and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046: before they spring forthH6779 I tellH8085 you of them.
