vw - Isaiah:42

vw@Isaiah:42:1 @ Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

vw@Isaiah:42:2 @ He shall not cry out, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

vw@Isaiah:42:3 @ A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoking wick He shall not quench; He shall bring forth justice unto truth.

vw@Isaiah:42:4 @ He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until He has established justice on the earth; and the islands shall wait for His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:5 @ Thus says Jehovah the Mighty God, He who created the heavens and stretched them out, spreading out the earth and its offspring; Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it.

vw@Isaiah:42:6 @ I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You as a covenant to the people, as a Light to the nations;

vw@Isaiah:42:7 @ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.

vw@Isaiah:42:8 @ I am Jehovah; that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.

vw@Isaiah:42:9 @ Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I proclaim them to you.

vw@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing to Jehovah a new song; His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the coastlands and its inhabitants.

vw@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Kedar dwells. Let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the mountain tops.

vw@Isaiah:42:12 @ Give glory to Jehovah and declare His praise in the coastlands.

vw@Isaiah:42:13 @ Jehovah goes forth as a mighty man, He stirs up zeal like a man of war; He shouts, yea, roars; He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:42:14 @ I have continually kept silent; I have been still and refrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor; I will pant and gasp at once.

vw@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will make waste the mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation. And I will make the rivers coastlands, and I will dry up the pools.

vw@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will make darkness into light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things for them, and not forsake them.

vw@Isaiah:42:17 @ They have been turned back, they are greatly ashamed, those who trust in graven images and who say to the molten images, You are our gods.

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

vw@Isaiah:42:19 @ Who is blind but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he who is perfect, and blind as Jehovahs servant?

vw@Isaiah:42:20 @ You see many things, but do not observe; opening the ears, but no one hears.

vw@Isaiah:42:21 @ Jehovah is well pleased for His righteousness sake; He will magnify the Law and make it honorable.

vw@Isaiah:42:22 @ But this is a people robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses. They are as prey, and no one delivers them; spoils, and no one says, Give it back!

vw@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

vw@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave Jacob for a spoils, and Israel to robbers? Was it not Jehovah, against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, nor did they obey His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle. And it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not lay it to heart.
