Isaiah 42 - Prayer Tents

42Behold 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.H5650H8551H972H5315H7521H5414H7307H3318H4941H1471 2He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;H6817H5375H6963H8085H2351 3a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.H7533H7070H7665H3544H6594H3518H3318H4941H571 4He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.H3543H7533H7760H4941H776H339H3176H8451 5Thus says God, the LORD, 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 spirit to those who walk in it:H559H410H3068H1254H8064H5186H7554H776H6631H5414H5397H5971H7307H1980 6"I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations,H3068H7121H6664H2388H3027H5341H5414H1285H5971H216H1471 7to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.H6491H5787H5869H3318H616H4525H3427H2822H3608H1004 8I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.H3068H8034H3519H5414H312H8416H6456 9Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."H7223H935H2319H5046H6779H8085 10Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.H7891H3068H2319H7892H8416H7097H776H3381H3220H4393H339H3427 11Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains.H4057H5892H5375H2691H6938H3427H3427H5553H7442H6681H7218H2022 12Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.H7760H3519H3068H5046H8416H339 13The LORD goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.H3068H3318H1368H5782H7068H376H4421H7321H6873H1396H341 14For a long time I have held my peace; I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.H5769H2814H2790H662H6463H3205H5395H8074H7602H3162 15I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools.H2717H2022H1389H3001H6212H7760H5104H339H3001H98 16And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.H3212H5787H1870H3045H1869H5410H3045H7760H4285H216H6440H4625H4334H1697H6213H5800 17They are turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in carved idols, who say to metal images, "You are our gods."H5472H268H1322H954H982H6459H559H4541H430 18Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see!H8085H2795H5027H5787H7200 19Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the LORD?H5787H5650H2795H4397H7971H5787H7999H5787H3068H5650 20He sees many things, but does not observe them; his ears are open, but he does not hear.H7200H7200H7227H8104H6491H241H8085 21The LORD was pleased, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify his law and make it glorious.H3068H2654H6664H1431H8451H142 22But this is a people plundered and looted; they are all of them trapped in holes and hidden in prisons; they have become plunder with none to rescue, spoil with none to say, "Restore!"H5971H962H8154H6351H2352H970H2244H3608H1004H957H5337H4933H559H7725 23Who among you will give ear to this, will attend and listen for the time to come?H238H7181H8085H268 24Who gave up Jacob to the looter, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose law they would not obey?H5414H3290H4933H4882H3478H962H3068H2098H2398H14H1980H1870H8085H8451 25So he poured on him the heat of his anger and the might of battle; it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand; it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart.H8210H2534H639H5807H4421H3857H5439H3045H1197H7760H3820
