Isaiah 42

1Behold, my servant^H5650, whom I uphold^H8551; my chosen^H972, in whom my soul^H5315 delighteth^H7521: I have put^H5414 my Spirit^H7307 upon him; he will bring forth^H3318 justice^H4941 to the Gentiles^H1471. 2He will not cry^H6817, nor lift up^H5375 his voice^H6963, nor cause it to be heard^H8085 in the street^H2351. 3A bruised^H7533 reed^H7070 will he not break^H7665, and a dimly^H3544 burning wick^H6594 will he not quench^H3518: he will bring forth^H3318 justice^H4941 in truth^H571. 4He will not fail^H3543 nor be discouraged^H7533, till he have set^H7760 justice^H4941 in the earth^H776; and the isles^H339 shall wait^H3176 for his law^H8451. 5Thus saith^H559 God^H410 Jehovah^H3068, he that created^H1254 the heavens^H8064, and stretched them forth^H5186; he that spread abroad^H7554 the earth^H776 and that which cometh out^H7554 of it; he that giveth^H5414 breath^H5397 unto the people^H5971 upon it, and spirit^H7307 to them that walk^H1980 therein: 6I, Jehovah^H3068, have called^H7121 thee in righteousness^H6664, and will hold^H2388 thy hand^H3027, and will keep^H5341 thee, and give^H5414 thee for a covenant^H1285 of the people^H5971, for a light^H216 of the Gentiles^H1471; 7to open^H6491 the blind^H5787 eyes^H5869, to bring out^H3318 the prisoners^H616 from the dungeon^H4525, and them that sit^H3427 in darkness^H2822 out of the^H3608 prison-house^H1004. 8I am Jehovah^H3068, that is my name^H8034; and my glory^H3519 will I not give^H5414 to another^H312, neither my praise^H8416 unto graven images^H6456. 9Behold, the former things^H7223 are come to pass^H935, and new things^H2319 do I declare^H5046; before they spring forth^H6779 I tell^H8085 you of them. 10Sing^H7891 unto Jehovah^H3068 a new^H2319 song^H7892, and his praise^H8416 from the end^H7097 of the earth^H776; ye that go down^H3381 to the sea^H3220, and all that is therein^H4393, the isles^H339, and the inhabitants^H3427 thereof. 11Let the wilderness^H4057 and the cities^H5892 thereof lift up^H5375 their voice, the villages^H2691 that Kedar^H6938 doth inhabit^H3427; let the inhabitants^H3427 of Sela^H5553 sing^H7442, let them shout^H6681 from the top^H7218 of the mountains^H2022. 12Let them give^H7760 glory^H3519 unto Jehovah^H3068, and declare^H5046 his praise^H8416 in the islands^H339. 13Jehovah^H3068 will go forth^H3318 as a mighty man^H1368; he will stir up^H5782 his zeal^H7068 like a man^H376 of war^H4421: he will cry^H7321, yea, he will shout aloud^H6873; he will do mightily^H1396 against his enemies^H341. 14I have long time^H5769 holden my peace^H2814; I have been still^H2790, and refrained^H662 myself: now will I cry^H6463 out like a travailing woman^H3205; I will gasp^H5395 and pant^H7602 together^H3162. 15I will lay waste^H2717 mountains^H2022 and hills^H1389, and dry up^H3001 all their herbs^H6212; and I will make^H7760 the rivers^H5104 islands^H339, and will dry up^H3001 the pools^H98. 16And I will bring^H3212 the blind^H5787 by a way^H1870 that they know^H3045 not; in paths^H5410 that they know^H3045 not will I lead^H1869 them; I will make^H7760 darkness^H4285 light^H216 before^H6440 them, and crooked places^H4625 straight^H4334. These things^H4625 will I do^H6213, and I will not forsake^H5800 them. 17They shall be turned^H5472 back^H268, they shall be utterly^H1322 put to shame^H954, that trust^H982 in graven images^H6459, that say^H559 unto molten images^H4541, Ye are our gods^H430. 18Hear^H8085, ye deaf^H2795; and look^H5027, ye blind^H5787, that ye may see^H7200. 19Who is blind^H5787, but my servant^H5650? or deaf^H2795, as my messenger^H4397 that I send^H7971? who is blind^H5787 as he that is at peace^H7999 with me, and blind^H5787 as Jehovah's^H3068 servant^H5650? 20Thou seest^H7200 many things^H7227, but thou observest^H8104 not; his ears^H241 are open^H6491, but he heareth^H8085 not. 21It pleased^H2654 Jehovah^H3068, for his righteousness^H6664' sake, to magnify^H1431 the law^H8451, and make it honorable^H142. 22But this is a people^H5971 robbed^H962 and plundered^H8154; they are all of them snared^H6351 in holes^H2352, and they are hid^H2244 in prison^H3608-houses^H1004: they are for a prey^H957, and none delivereth^H5337; for a spoil^H4933, and none saith^H559, Restore^H7725. 23Who is there among you that will give ear^H238 to this? that will hearken^H7181 and hear^H8085 for the time to come^H268? 24Who gave^H5414 Jacob^H3290 for a spoil^H4933, and Israel^H3478 to the robbers^H962? did not Jehovah^H3068? he against whom^H2098 we have sinned^H2398, and in whose ways^H1870 they would^H14 not walk^H1980, neither were they obedient^H8085 unto his law^H8451. 25Therefore he poured^H8210 upon him the fierceness^H2534 of his anger^H639, and the strength^H5807 of battle^H4421; and it set him on fire^H3857 round about^H5439, yet he knew^H3045 not; and it burned^H1197 him, yet he laid^H7760 it not to heart^H3820.
