23_ISA_42_01 behold my servant , whom I uphold ; mine Elect , [ in whom ] my soul delighteth ; I have put my spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles .
23_ISA_42_02 he shall not cry , nor lift up , nor cause his voice to be heard in the street .
23_ISA_42_03 A bruised reed shall he not break , And the smoking flax shall he not quench : he shall bring forth judgment unto truth .
23_ISA_42_04 he shall not fail nor be discouraged , till he have set judgment in the earth : And the isles shall wait for his law .
23_ISA_42_05 thus saith God the LORD , he that created the heavens , And stretched them out ; he that spread forth the earth , And that which cometh out of it ; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it , And spirit to them that walk therein :
23_ISA_42_06 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness , And will hold thine hand , And will keep thee , And give thee for A covenant of the people , for A light of the Gentiles ;
23_ISA_42_07 to open the blind eyes , to bring out the prisoners from the prison , [ And ] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house .
23_ISA_42_08 I [ am ] the LORD : that [ Is ] my name : And my glory will I not give to another , neither my praise to graven images .
23_ISA_42_09 behold , the former things are come to pass , And new things do I declare : before they spring forth I tell you of them .
23_ISA_42_10 sing unto the LORD A new song , [ And ] his praise from the end of the earth , ye that go down to the sea , And all that Is therein ; the isles , And the inhabitants thereof .
23_ISA_42_11 let the wilderness And the cities thereof lift up [ their voice ] , the villages [ that ] Kedar Doth inhabit : let the inhabitants of the rock sing , let them shout from the top of the mountains .
23_ISA_42_12 let them give glory unto the LORD , And declare his praise in the islands .
23_ISA_42_13 the LORD shall go forth as A mighty man , he shall stir up jealousy like A man of war : he shall cry , yea , roar ; he shall prevail against his enemies .
23_ISA_42_14 I have long time holden my peace ; I have been still , [ And ] refrained myself : [ now ] will I cry like A travailing woman ; I will destroy And devour at once .
23_ISA_42_15 I will make waste mountains And hills , And dry up all their herbs ; And I will make the rivers islands , And I will dry up the pools .
23_ISA_42_16 And I will bring the blind by A way [ that ] they knew not ; I will lead them in paths [ that ] they have not known : I will make darkness light before them , And crooked things straight . These things will I do unto them , And not forsake them .
23_ISA_42_17 they shall be turned back , they shall be greatly ashamed , that trust in graven images , that say to the molten images , ye [ are ] our gods .
23_ISA_42_18 hear , ye deaf ; And Look , ye blind , that ye may see .
23_ISA_42_19 who [ Is ] blind , but my servant ? or deaf , as my messenger [ that ] I sent ? who [ Is ] blind as [ he that Is ] perfect , And blind as the LORD's servant ?
23_ISA_42_20 seeing Many things , but thou observest not ; opening the ears , but he heareth not .
23_ISA_42_21 the LORD Is Well pleased for his righteousness' sake ; he will magnify the law , And make [ it ] honourable .
23_ISA_42_22 but this [ Is ] A people robbed And spoiled ; [ they are ] all of them snared in holes , And they are hid in prison houses : they are for A prey , And none delivereth ; for A spoil , And none saith , Restore .
23_ISA_42_23 who among you will give ear to this ? [ who ] will hearken And hear for the time to come ?
23_ISA_42_24 who gave Jacob for A spoil , And Israel to the robbers ? did not the LORD , he against whom we have sinned ? for they would not walk in his ways , neither were they obedient unto his law .
23_ISA_42_25 therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger , And the strength of battle : And it hath set him on fire round about , yet he knew not ; And it burned him , yet he laid [ it ] not to heart .
