Isaiah:42:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold my servant ,
whom I uphold ,
my chosen ,
in whom my soul delights ;
I have put my Spirit upon him ,
he will bring forth justice to the nations .
*
He will not cry or lift up his voice ,
or make it heard in the street ;
*
a bruised reed he will not break ,
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench ;
he will faithfully bring forth justice .
*
He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth ;
and the coastlands wait for his law .
*
Thus says God ,
the LORD ,
who created the heavens and stretched them out ,
who spread forth the earth and what comes from it ,
who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it :
* "
I am the LORD ,
I have called you in righteousness ,
I have taken you by the hand and kept you ;
I have given you as a covenant to the people ,
a light to the nations ,
*
to open the eyes that are blind ,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon ,
from the prison those who sit in darkness .
*
I am the LORD ,
that is my name ;
my glory I give to no other ,
nor my praise to graven images .
*
Behold ,
the former things have come to pass ,
and new things I now declare ;
before they spring forth I tell you of them ."
