[1]Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551[H8799]; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521[H8804]; I have putH5414[H8804] my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318[H8686] judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
[2]He shall not cryH6817[H8799], nor lift upH5375[H8799], nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085[H8686] in the streetH2351.
[3]A bruisedH7533[H8803] reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665[H8799], and the smokingH3544 flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518[H8762]: he shall bring forthH3318[H8686] judgmentH4941 unto truthH571.
[4]He shall not failH3543[H8799] nor be discouragedH7533[H8799], till he have setH7760[H8799] judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176[H8762] for his lawH8451.
[5]Thus saithH559[H8804] GodH410 the LORDH3068, he that createdH1254[H8802] the heavensH8064, and stretched them outH5186[H8802]; he that spread forthH7554[H8802] the earthH776, and that which cometh outH6631 of it; he that givethH5414[H8802] breathH5397 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 thereinH8802:
[6]I the LORDH3068 have calledH7121[H8804] thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388[H8686] thine handH3027, and will keepH5341[H8799] thee, and giveH5414[H8799] thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the GentilesH1471;
[7]To openH6491[H8800] the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bring outH3318[H8687] the prisonersH616 from the prisonH4525, and them that sitH3427[H8802] in darknessH2822 out of the prisonH3608 houseH1004.
[8]I am the LORDH3068: that is my nameH8034: and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414[H8799] to anotherH312, neither my praiseH8416 to graven imagesH6456.
[9]Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935[H8804], and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046[H8688]: before they spring forthH6779[H8799] I tellH8085 you of themH8686.
[10]SingH7891[H8798] unto the LORDH3068 a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776, ye that go downH3381[H8802] to the seaH3220, and all that is thereinH4393; the islesH339, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereofH8802.
[11]Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof lift upH5375[H8799] their voice, the villagesH2691 that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427[H8799]: let the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the rockH5553 singH7442[H8799], let them shoutH6681[H8799] from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022.
[12]Let them giveH7760[H8799] gloryH3519 unto the LORDH3068, and declareH5046[H8686] his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339.
[13]The LORDH3068 shall go forthH3318[H8799] as a mighty manH1368, he shall stir upH5782[H8686] jealousyH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he shall cryH7321[H8686], yea, roarH6873[H8686]; he shall prevailH1396[H8691] against his enemiesH341.[H8802]
[14]I have long timeH5769 holden my peaceH2814[H8689]; I have been stillH2790[H8686], and refrainedH662[H8691] myself: now will I cryH6463[H8799] like a travailing womanH3205[H8802]; I will destroyH5395[H8799][H8676][H8074][H8799] and devourH7602[H8799] at onceH3162.
[15]I will make wasteH2717[H8686] mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dry upH3001[H8686] all their herbsH6212; and I will makeH7760[H8804] the riversH5104 islandsH339, and I will dry upH3001[H8686] the poolsH98.
[16]And I will bringH3212[H8689] the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knewH3045[H8804] not; I will leadH1869[H8686] them in pathsH5410 that they have not knownH3045[H8804]: I will makeH7760[H8799] darknessH4285 lightH216 beforeH6440 them, and crooked thingsH4625 straightH4334. These thingsH1697 will I doH6213[H8804] unto them, and not forsakeH5800 themH8804.
[17]They shall be turnedH5472[H8738] backH268, they shall be greatlyH1322 ashamedH954[H8799], that trustH982[H8802] in graven imagesH6459, that sayH559[H8802] to the molten imagesH4541, Ye are our godsH430.
[18]HearH8085[H8798], ye deafH2795; and lookH5027[H8685], ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200.[H8800]
[19]Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971[H8799]? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999[H8794], and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
[20]SeeingH7200[H8800][H8675][H7200][H8804] many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104[H8799] not; openingH6491[H8800] the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 notH8799.
[21]The LORDH3068 is well pleasedH2654[H8804] for his righteousness'H6664 sake; he will magnifyH1431[H8686] the lawH8451, and make it honourableH142.[H8686]
[22]But this is a peopleH5971 robbedH962[H8803] and spoiledH8154[H8803]; they are all of them snaredH6351[H8687] in holesH2352[H8676][H970], and they are hidH2244[H8717] in prisonH3608 housesH1004: they are for a preyH957, and none deliverethH5337[H8688]; for a spoilH4933, and none saithH559[H8802], RestoreH7725.[H8685]
[23]Who among you will give earH238[H8686] to this? who will hearkenH7181[H8686] and hearH8085[H8799] for the time to comeH268?
[24]Who gaveH5414[H8804] JacobH3290 for a spoilH4933[H8675][H4882], and IsraelH3478 to the robbersH962[H8802]? did not the LORDH3068, he against whomH2098 we have sinnedH2398[H8804]? for they wouldH14[H8804] not walkH1980[H8800] in his waysH1870, neither were they obedientH8085[H8804] unto his lawH8451.
[25]Therefore he hath pouredH8210[H8799] upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857[H8762] round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045[H8804] not; and it burnedH1197[H8799] him, yet he laidH7760[H8799] it not to heartH3820.
