# Isaiah 42 (New King James Version)
|
|
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.
