* Behold my servant , whom I uphold ; mine elect , in whom my soul delighteth ; I have put my spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles . * He shall not cry , nor lift up , nor cause his voice to be heard in the street . * A bruised reed shall he not break , and the smoking flax shall he not quench : he shall bring forth judgment unto truth . * He shall not fail nor be discouraged , till he have set judgment in the earth : and the isles shall wait for his law . * Thus saith God the LORD , he that created the heavens , and stretched them out ; he that spread forth 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 : * I the LORD have called thee in righteousness , and will hold thine hand , and will keep thee , and give thee for a covenant of the people , for a light of the Gentiles ; * To open the blind eyes , to bring out the prisoners from the prison , and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house . * I am the LORD : that is my name : and my glory will I not give to another , neither my praise to graven images . * Behold , the former things are come to pass , and new things do I declare : before they spring forth I tell you of them . * Sing unto the LORD 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 . * Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice , the villages that Kedar doth inhabit : let the inhabitants of the rock sing , let them shout from the top of the mountains . * Let them give glory unto the LORD , and declare his praise in the islands . * The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man , he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war : he shall cry , yea , roar ; he shall prevail against his enemies . * I have long time holden my peace ; I have been still , and refrained myself : now will I cry like a travailing woman ; I will destroy (8676 ) and devour at once . * I will make waste mountains and hills gib #ah #, and dry up all their herbs ; and I will make the rivers islands , and I will dry up the pools . * And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not ; I will lead them in paths that they have not known : I will make darkness light before them , and crooked things straight . These things will I do unto them , and not forsake them . * They shall be turned back , they shall be greatly ashamed , that trust in graven images , that say to the molten images , Ye are our gods . * Hear , ye deaf ; and look , ye blind , that ye may see . * Who is blind , but my servant ? or deaf , as my messenger that I sent ? who is blind as he that is perfect , and blind as the LORDS servant ? * Seeing (8675 ) many things , but thou observest not ; opening the ears , but he heareth not . * The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness sake ; he will magnify the law , and make it honourable . * But this is a people robbed and spoiled ; 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 . * Who among you will give ear to this ? who will hearken and hear for the time to come ? * Who gave Jacob for a spoil m @, and Israel to the robbers ? did not the LORD , he against whom we have sinned ? for they would not walk in his ways , neither were they obedient unto his law . * Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger , and the strength of battle : and it hath set him on fire round about , yet he knew not ; and it burned him , yet he laid it not to heart .
