Isaiah 42:7

Chapter 42

The Servant of the LORD

1“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him
and he will bring justice to the nations.

2He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets.

3A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

4he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his law the islands will put their hope.”

5This is what God the LORD says—
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:

6“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,

7to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

8“I am the LORD; that is my name!
I will not give my glory to another
or my praise to idols.

9See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you.”
