asv@Isaiah:42:1 @Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

asv@Isaiah:42:2 @He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

asv@Isaiah:42:3 @A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.

asv@Isaiah:42:4 @He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

asv@Isaiah:42:5 @Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

asv@Isaiah:42:6 @I, Jehovah, 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;

asv@Isaiah:42:7 @to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

asv@Isaiah:42:8 @I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.

asv@Isaiah:42:9 @Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

asv@Isaiah:42:10 @Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

asv@Isaiah:42:11 @Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

asv@Isaiah:42:12 @Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.

asv@Isaiah:42:13 @Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.

asv@Isaiah:42:14 @I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.

asv@Isaiah:42:15 @I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.

asv@Isaiah:42:16 @And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

asv@Isaiah:42:17 @They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.

asv@Isaiah:42:18 @Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

asv@Isaiah:42:19 @Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I send? who is blind as he that is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?

asv@Isaiah:42:20 @Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not.

asv@Isaiah:42:21 @It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.

asv@Isaiah:42:22 @But this is a people robbed and plundered; 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.

asv@Isaiah:42:23 @Who is there among you that will give ear to this? that will hearken and hear for the time to come?

asv@Isaiah:42:24 @Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not Jehovah? he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law.

asv@Isaiah:42:25 @Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
