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 nations.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
A crushed reed shall he not break, and dim flax shall he not quench; he shall bring forth judgment in truth.
He shall not faint nor be crushed till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
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.
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,
to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
I [am] Jehovah; that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto 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 Jehovah a new song, 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 Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.
I have long time holden my peace, I have been still, I have restrained myself: [now] will I cry out like a travailing woman, I will gasp and pant together.
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.
And I will bring the blind by a way they know not, in paths they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do to them, and I will 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? and deaf as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] made perfect, and blind as Jehovah’s servant?
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
Jehovah was well pleased for his righteousness’ sake to 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 what is to come?
Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers? did not Jehovah?—he against whom we have sinned; and they would not walk in his ways, nor be obedient unto his law.
Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury 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.
