Isaias

XLII. 1 Jacob my servant, on him will I take hold; Israel (is) my chosen, my soul hath received him; I have put my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment for the nations.

2 He shall not cry out, nor send forth (his voice), nor shall his voice be heard without.

3 A bruised reed shall he not crush, and smoking flax shall he not quench, but shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

4. He shall shine out, and shall not be shattered, until he have iegpiudgment upon the earth; and in his name shall nations

5 Thus saith the Lord, the God who made the heaven and fixed it, who established the earth and the things therein, and grave breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon,

6 Ι the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold fast thine hand, and will strengthen thee, and have given I thee for a covenant of a race, for a light of nations.

7 To open blind ’s eyes, to lead out from bonds them that are bound, and men that sit in darkness out of a prison house.

8 Ι am the Lord God: this is my name; my glory will I not give to another, nor my excellences to the graven images.

9 The things from of old, behold, they are come; and new things do I proclaim, and before they sprang up they were made plain to you.
