The Servant of the Lord
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 42
|
|
1. "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
|
|
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
|
|
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
|
|
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
|
|
|
|
2. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
|
|
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
|
|
|
|
3. A bruised reed He will not break,
|
|
And smoking flax He will not quench;
|
|
He will bring forth justice for truth.
|
|
|
|
4. He will not fail nor be discouraged,
|
|
Till He has established justice in the earth;
|
|
And the coastlands shall wait for His law."
|
|
|
|
5. Thus says God the Lord,
|
|
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
|
|
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
|
|
Who gives breath to the people on it,
|
|
And spirit to those who walk on it:
|
|
|
|
6. "I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
|
|
And will hold Your hand;
|
|
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
|
|
As a light to the Gentiles,
|
|
|
|
7. To open blind eyes,
|
|
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
|
|
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
|
|
|
|
8. I am the Lord, that is My name;
|
|
And My glory I will not give to another,
|
|
Nor My praise to carved images.
|
|
|
|
9. Behold, the former things have come to pass,
|
|
And new things I declare;
|
|
Before they spring forth I tell you of them."Praise to the Lord
|
|
|
|
10. Sing to the Lord a new song,
|
|
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
|
|
You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
|
|
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
|
|
|
|
11. Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
|
|
The villages that Kedar inhabits.
|
|
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,
|
|
Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
|
|
|
|
12. Let them give glory to the Lord,
|
|
And declare His praise in the coastlands.
|
|
|
|
13. The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
|
|
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
|
|
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
|
|
He shall prevail against His enemies.Promise of the Lord's Help
|
|
|
|
14. "I have held My peace a long time,
|
|
I have been still and restrained Myself.
|
|
Now I will cry like a woman in labor,
|
|
I will pant and gasp at once.
|
|
|
|
15. I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
|
|
And dry up all their vegetation;
|
|
I will make the rivers coastlands,
|
|
And I will dry up the pools.
|
|
|
|
16. I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
|
|
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
|
|
I will make darkness light before them,
|
|
And crooked places straight.
|
|
These things I will do for them,
|
|
And not forsake them.
|
|
|
|
17. They shall be turned back,
|
|
They shall be greatly ashamed,
|
|
Who trust in carved images,
|
|
Who say to the molded images,
|
|
'You are our gods.'
|
|
|
|
18. "Hear, you deaf;
|
|
And look, you blind, that you may see.
|
|
|
|
19. Who is blind but My servant,
|
|
Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?
|
|
Who is blind as he who is perfect,
|
|
And blind as the Lord's servant?
|
|
|
|
20. Seeing many things, but you do not observe;
|
|
Opening the ears, but he does not hear."Israel's Obstinate Disobedience
|
|
|
|
21. The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness' sake;
|
|
He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
|
|
|
|
22. But this is a people robbed and plundered;
|
|
All of them are snared in holes,
|
|
And they are hidden in prison houses;
|
|
They are for prey, and no one delivers;
|
|
For plunder, and no one says, "Restore!"
|
|
|
|
23. Who among you will give ear to this?
|
|
Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
|
|
|
|
24. Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers?
|
|
Was it not the Lord,
|
|
He against whom we have sinned?
|
|
For they would not walk in His ways,
|
|
Nor were they obedient to His law.
|
|
|
|
25. Therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger
|
|
And the strength of battle;
|
|
It has set him on fire all around,
|
|
Yet he did not know;
|
|
And it burned him,
|
|
Yet he did not take it to heart.
