Isaiah 42

1BeholdH2005 my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; my chosenH972, in whom my soulH5315 delighteth: I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 uponH5921 him; he shall bringH3318 forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471. 2He shall notH3808 cryH6817, norH3808 liftH5375 upH5375, norH3808 cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351. 3A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 shall he notH3808 breakH7665, and the smoking flaxH6594 shall he notH3808 quenchH3518: he shall bringH3318 forthH3318 judgmentH4941 in truthH571. 4He shall notH3808 failH3808 norH3808 be discouraged, tillH5704 he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776; and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. 5ThusH3541 saith GodH410 the LORDH3068, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretchedH5186 them forthH5414; he that spreadH5186 abroad the earthH776 and that whichH7307 cometh outH5186 of it; he that giveth breathH7307 unto the peopleH5971 uponH5921 it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein: 6I the LORDH3068 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 bringH3318 outH3318 the prisonersH616 from the dungeonH4525, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 outH3318 of the prisonH3608 houseH1004. 8I am the LORDH3068; that is my nameH8034: and my gloryH3519 will I notH3808 giveH5414 to anotherH312, neitherH3808 my praiseH8416 unto gravenH6456 imagesH6456. 9BeholdH2009, the formerH7223 things are comeH935 to passH935, and newH2319 things doH589 I declareH5046: beforeH2962 they springH6779 forthH6779 I tellH5046 youH5046 of them. 10SingH7891 unto the LORDH3068 a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; ye that goH3381 downH3381 to the seaH3220, and allH4393 that is therein, the islesH339, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. 11Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof liftH5375 upH5375 their voice, the villages that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427; let the inhabitantsH3427 of SelaH5554 singH7442, let them shoutH7442 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022. 12LetH5046 them giveH7760 gloryH3519 unto the LORDH3068, and declareH5046 his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339. 13The LORDH3068 shall goH3318 forthH3318 as a mightyH1368 manH376; he shall stirH5782 upH5921 jealousyH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he shall cryH7321, yea, he shall shoutH7321 aloudH7321; he shall doH637 mightily againstH5921 his enemiesH341. 14I have longH5769 time holden my peace; I have been stillH2814, and refrainedH2814 myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gaspH5395 and pant togetherH3162. 15I will makeH7760 waste mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dryH3001 upH3001 allH3605 their herbsH6212; and I will makeH7760 the riversH5104 islandsH339, and will dryH3001 upH3001 the poolsH98. 16And I will bringH7760 the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knowH3045 notH3808; in pathsH5410 that they knowH3045 notH3808 will I leadH1869 them: I will makeH7760 darknessH4285 lightH216 beforeH6440 them, and crooked placesH4285 straight. TheseH428 things will I doH6213, and I will notH3808 forsakeH5800 them. 17They shall be turnedH5472 backH268, they shall be greatly ashamedH954, that trustH982 in gravenH6459 imagesH4541, that sayH559 unto molten imagesH4541, Ye are our godsH430. 18HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH7200, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200. 19Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sendH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is at peace with meH7971, and blindH5787 as the LORD’SH3068 servantH5650? 20Thou seest manyH7227 things, but thou observest notH3808; his earsH241 are openH6491, but he heareth notH3808. 21It pleasedH2654 the LORDH3068, for his righteousness’H6664 sakeH4616, to magnifyH1431 the lawH8451, and makeH1431 it honourable. 22But this is a peopleH5971 robbed and spoiled; they are allH3605 of them snared in holes, and they are hidH2244 in prisonH3608 housesH1004: they are for a preyH957, and noneH369 delivereth; for a spoilH957, and noneH369 saith, RestoreH7725. 23Who is there among youH8085 that will giveH238 earH238 to this? that will hearken and hearH8085 for the time to come? 24Who gaveH5414 JacobH3290 for a spoilH962, and IsraelH3478 to the robbers? didH3808 notH3808 the LORDH3068? he againstH2398 whomH4310 weH8085 have sinnedH2398, and in whoseH4310 waysH1870 they would notH3808 walkH1980, neitherH3808 were they obedientH8085 unto his lawH8451. 25Therefore he pouredH8210 uponH5921 him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421; and it setH7760 him on fireH3857 roundH5439 aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 notH3808; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it notH3808 to heartH3820.
