◄ ISA 42 ► ║ ═ ©

42 “Behold my servant, I uphold him;

my chosen one, my soul delights in him.

I have put my Spirit upon him;

he will bring forth justice to the nations.

2 He will not cry out, and he will not lift up his voice,

and he will not make his voice heard outside.

3 He will not break a crushed reed,

and he will not quench a dim wick.

He will bring forth justice in faithfulness.

4 He will not become dim, and one will not crush him,

until he sets justice on the earth,

and the coastlands will wait for his law.”

5 Thus says God, Yahweh,

the one having created the heavens and having stretched them out,

the one having beaten out the earth and its offspring,

the one giving breath to the people on it

and breath to the ones walking on it:

6 “I, Yahweh, I have called you in righteousness,

and I will hold your hand, and I will keep you,

and I will give you as a covenant of the people,

as a light of the nations,

7 to open blind eyes,

to bring forth the prisoner from the dungeon,

from the house of confinement, the dwellers of darkness.

8 I am Yahweh, that is my name,

and my glory I will not give to another,

or my praise to idols.

9 The former, behold, they have come,

and the new, I am declaring.

Before they sprout, I make you hear.”

10 Sing to Yahweh a new song,

his praise from the end of the earth;

the ones going down to the sea and its fullness,

the coastlands and their dwellers.

11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices,

the villages Kedar inhabits.

Let the dwellers of Sela sing joyfully;

let them shout from the head of the mountains.

12 Let them give glory to Yahweh

and let them declare his praise in the coastlands.

13 Yahweh will go forth as a warrior;

as a man of battles he will awaken zeal.

He will shout, indeed, he will yell;

he will show himself mighty over his enemies.

14 “I have kept quiet from eternity;

I have been silent; I have restrained myself.

Like one birthing, I will cry out;

I will gasp and pant together.

15 I will desolate mountains and hills,

and I will dry up all of their vegetation,

and I will make rivers into coastlands,

and I will dry up the marshes.

16 And I will make the blind walk by a way they have not known;

on paths they have not known, I will make them tread.

I will make darkness into light to their faces,

and rough places into level ground.

I will do these things,

and I will not abandon them.

17 They will be turned back, they will have shame with shame,

the ones trusting in a carved idol,

the ones saying to a cast idol,

‘You are our gods.’

18 O deaf ones, hear,

and O blind ones, look, in order to see.

19 Who is blind except my servant,

or deaf like my messenger whom I send?

Who is blind like the covenanted one,

or blind like the servant of Yahweh?

20 You see many things, but you do not observe them;

he has opened the ears, but he does not hear.”

21 Yahweh delighted, for the sake of his righteousness,

that he should magnify the law and glorify it.

22 But it is a people plundered and looted,

all of them trapped in pits,

and in houses of confinement they are hidden.

They have become plunder, and none is delivering;

loot, and none is saying, “Give back!”

23 Who among you will listen to this,

will attend and hear for afterward?

24 Who gave Jacob to the looter

and Israel to the plunderers?

Was it not Yahweh, whom, we sinned against him,

and they were not willing to walk in his ways,

and they did not hear his law?

25 So he poured out on him the heat of his nose

and the strength of battle,

and it kindled him from around,

but he did not know it,

and it burned him up,

but he did not set to heart.
