The Servant’s Mission

42"This is My Servant; I strengthen Him, [this is] My Chosen One; I delight in Him. I have put My Spirit on Him; He will bring justice to the nations.H5650H8551H972H5315H7521H5414H7307H3318H4941H1471
2He will not cry out or shout or make His voice heard in the streets.H6817H5375H6963H8085H2351
3He will not break a bruised reed, and He will not put out a smoldering wick; He will faithfully bring justice.H7533H7070H7665H3544H6594H3518H3318H4941H571
4He will not grow weak or be discouraged until He has established justice on earth. The islands will wait for His instruction."H3543H7533H7760H4941H776H339H3176H8451
5This is what God the LORD says— who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk on it—H559H410H3068H1254H8064H5186H7554H776H6631H5414H5397H5971H7307H1980
6"I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous [purpose], and I will hold you by your hand. I will keep you, and I make you a covenant for the people [and] a light to the nations,H3068H7121H6664H2388H3027H5341H5414H1285H5971H216H1471
7in order to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, [and] those sitting in darkness from the prison house.H6491H5787H5869H3318H616H4525H3427H2822H3608H1004
8I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, or my praise to idols.H3068H8034H3519H5414H312H8416H6456
9The past events have indeed happened. Now I declare new events; I announce them to you before they occur."H7223H935H2319H5046H6779H8085

A Song of Praise

10Sing a new song to the LORD; [sing] His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea with all that fills it, you islands with your inhabitants.H7891H3068H2319H7892H8416H7097H776H3381H3220H4393H339H3427
11Let the desert and its cities shout, the settlements where Kedar dwells [cry aloud]. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops.H4057H5892H5375H2691H6938H3427H3427H5553H7442H6681H7218H2022
12Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands.H7760H3519H3068H5046H8416H339
13The LORD advances like a warrior; He stirs up His zeal like a soldier. He shouts, He roars aloud, He prevails over His enemies.H3068H3318H1368H5782H7068H376H4421H7321H6873H1396H341
14"I have kept silent from ages past; I have been quiet and restrained Myself. [But now,] I will groan like a woman in labor, gasping breathlessly.H5769H2814H2790H662H6463H3205H5395H8074H7602H3162
15I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn rivers into islands, and dry up marshes.H2717H2022H1389H3001H6212H7760H5104H339H3001H98
16I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on paths they have not known. I will turn darkness to light in front of them, and rough places into level ground. This is what I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.H3212H5787H1870H3045H1869H5410H3045H7760H4285H216H6440H4625H4334H1697H6213H5800
17They will be turned back [and] utterly ashamed— those who trust in idols and say to metal-plated images: You are our gods!H5472H268H1322H954H982H6459H559H4541H430

Israel’s Blindness and Deafness

18"Listen, you deaf! Look, you blind, so that you may see.H8085H2795H5027H5787H7200
19Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like My messenger I am sending? Who is blind like [My] dedicated one, or blind like the servant of the LORD?H5787H5650H2795H4397H7971H5787H7999H5787H3068H5650
20Though seeing many things, you do not obey. Though [his] ears are open, he does not listen."H7200H7200H7227H8104H6491H241H8085
21The LORD was pleased, because of His righteousness, to magnify [His] instruction and make it glorious.H3068H2654H6664H1431H8451H142
22But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in holes or imprisoned in dungeons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them, and loot, with no one saying "Give [it] back!"H5971H962H8154H6351H2352H970H2244H3608H1004H957H5337H4933H559H7725
23Who among you will pay attention to this? Let him listen and obey in the future.H238H7181H8085H268
24Who gave Jacob to the robber, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD? Have we not sinned against Him? They were not willing to walk in His ways, and they would not listen to His instruction.H5414H3290H4933H4882H3478H962H3068H2098H2398H14H1980H1870H8085H8451
25So He poured out on Jacob His furious anger and the power of war. It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know [it]; it burned him, but he paid no attention.H8210H2534H639H5807H4421H3857H5439H3045H1197H7760H3820
