Chapter 42

1


 

  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.  

 

 

--

2


 

  He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.  

 

 

--

3


 

  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.  

 

 

--

4


 

  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and expanded them; he that spread forth the earth, and that which it produceth; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.  

 

 

--

6


 

  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;  

 

 

--

7


 

  To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.  

 

 

--

8


 

  I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Sing to 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 in it; the isles, and their inhabitants.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Let the wilderness and its cities 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.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yes, roar; he will prevail against his enemies.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.  

 

 

--

15


 

  I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers to be islands, and I will dry up the pools.  

 

 

--

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 for them, and not forsake them.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.  

 

 

--

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?  

 

 

--

20


 

  Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.  

 

 

--

21


 

  The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.  

 

 

--

22


 

  But this is a people robbed and pillaged; 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


 

  Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken, and hear for the time to come?  

 

 

--

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 to his law.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
