Isaiah 42

God's Promise concerning His Servant

1

aBeholdh2005, My  bServanth5650, whom I  1upholdh8551; My  cchosenh972 one in whom My  dsoulh5315 delightsh7521. I have puth5414 My  eSpirith7307 upon Him; He will bringh3318 forthh3318  fjusticeh4941 to the  2nationsh1471.

2

"He will not cryh6817 out or raiseh5375 His voice, Norh3808 makeh8085 His voiceh6963 heardh8085 in the streeth2351.

3

"A bruisedh7533 reedh7070 He will not breakh7665 And a dimlyh3544 burning wickh6594 He will not extinguishh3518; He will faithfullyh571 bringh3318 forthh3318  ajusticeh4941.

4

"He will not be  adisheartenedh3543a or crushedh7533 Untilh5704 He has establishedh7760 justiceh4941 in the earthh776; And the  bcoastlandsh339 will waith3176 expectantlyh3176 for His  1lawh8451."

5

Thush3541 saysh559 Godh410 the LORDh3068, Who  acreatedh1254a the heavensh8064 and  bstretchedh5186 them out, Who spreadh7554 out the  cearthh776 and its  1offspringh6631, Who  dgivesh5414 breathh5397 to the peopleh5971a on it And spirith7307 to those who walkh1980 in it,

6

"I am the LORDh3068, I have  acalledh7121 You in righteousnessh6664, I will also  bholdh2388 You by the handh3027 and  cwatchh5341 over You, And I will appointh5414 You as a  dcovenanth1285 to the peopleh5971a, As a  elighth216 to the nationsh1471,

7

To  aopenh6491b blindh5787 eyesh5869, To  bbringh3318 out prisonersh616 from the dungeonh4525 And those who dwellh3427 in darknessh2822 from the prisonh1004h3608.

8

aI am the LORDh3068, that is  bMy nameh8034; I will not giveh5414 My  cgloryh3519b to anotherh312, Norh3808 My praiseh8416 to  1gravenh6456 imagesh6456.

9

"Beholdh2009, the  aformerh7223 thingsh7223 have comeh935 to passh935, Now I declareh5046  bnewh2319 thingsh2319; Beforeh2962 they springh6779 forthh6779 I proclaimh8085 them to you."

10

Singh7891 to the LORDh3068 a  anewh2319 songh7892a, Sing His praiseh8416 from the  bendh7097a of the earthh776!  cYou who goh3381 downh3381 to the seah3220, and  dallh4393 that is in it. You  eislandsh339, and those who dwellh3427 on them.

11

Let the  awildernessh4057b and its citiesh5892b lifth5375 up their voices, The settlementsh2691b where  bKedarh6938 inhabitsh3427. Let the inhabitantsh3427 of  cSelah5553 singh7442 aloudh7442, Let them shouth6681 for joyh6681 from the topsh7218 of the  dmountainsh2022.

12

Let them  agiveh7760 gloryh3519b to the LORDh3068 And declareh5046 His praiseh8416 in the  bcoastlandsh339.

13

 aThe LORDh3068 will goh3318 forthh3318 like a warriorh1368, He will arouseh5782 His  bzealh7068 like a manh376 of warh4421. He will utterh7321 a shouth7321, yesh637, He will raiseh6873 a warh6873 cryh6873. He will  cprevailh1396 againsth5921 His enemiesh340.

The Blindness of the People

14

aI have kepth2814 silenth2814 for a longh5769 timeh5769, I have kepth2814 stillh2790b and restrainedh662 Myself. Now like a woman in laborh3205 I will groanh6463, I will bothh3162 gasph5395 and panth7602a.

15

"I will  alayh2717b wasteh2717b the mountainsh2022 and hillsh1389 And witherh3001 allh3605 their vegetationh6212a; I will  bmakeh7760 the riversh5104 into coastlandsh339 And dryh3001 up the pondsh98.

16

"I will  aleadh1980 the blindh5787 by a wayh1870 they do not knowh3045, In pathsh5410b they do not knowh3045 I will guideh1869 them. I will  bmakeh7760 darknessh4285 into lighth216 beforeh6440 them And  cruggedh4625 placesh4625 into plainsh4334. Theseh428 are the thingsh1697 I will doh6213a, And I will  dnot leaveh5800a them undoneh5800a."

17

They will be turnedh5472 backh268 and be  autterlyh954 puth954 to shameh954, Who trusth982 in  1idolsh6459, Who sayh559 to moltenh4541a imagesh4541a, "You are our godsh430."

18

 aHearh8085, you deafh2795! And lookh5027, you blindh5787, that you may seeh7200.

19

Whoh4310 is blindh5787 but My  aservanth5650, Or so deafh2795 as My  bmessengerh4397 whom I sendh7971? Whoh4310 is so blindh5787 as he that is  1 cat peaceh7999b with Me, Or so blindh5787 as the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068?

20

 aYou have seenh7200 manyh7227a thingsh7227a, but you do not observeh8104 them; Your earsh241 are openh6491b, but noneh3808 hearsh8085.

21

The LORDh3068 was pleasedh2654a for His righteousness'h6664 sakeh4616 To makeh1431 the lawh8451  agreath1431 and glorioush142.

22

But thish1931 is a peopleh5971a plunderedh962 and despoiledh8154; Allh3605 of them are  atrappedh6351 in  1cavesh2352b, Or are  bhiddenh2244 away in prisonsh3608; They have becomeh1961 a preyh957 with noneh369 to deliverh5337 them, And a spoilh4933, with noneh369 to sayh559, "Giveh7725 them backh7725!"

23

Whoh4310 among you will giveh238 earh238 to thish384? Who will giveh7181 heedh7181 and listenh8085 hereafterh268?

24

Whoh4310 gaveh5414 Jacobh3290 up for spoilh4933, and Israelh3478 to plunderersh962? Was it not the LORDh3068, against whomh2098 we have sinnedh2398, And in whose waysh1870 they  awere not willingh14 to walkh1980, And whose lawh8451 they did not  bobeyh8085?

25

So He pouredh8210 out on him the heath2534 of His angerh639 And the  afiercenessh5807 of battleh4421; And it seth3857 him aflameh3857 allh4480h5439 aroundh5439, Yet he did not recognizeh3045 it; And it burnedh1197a him, but he  1 bpaidh7760 noh3808 attentionh5921h3820.
