Isaiah 42

He will bring justice to the nations.

nor cause it to be heard in the street.

He will faithfully bring justice.

and the islands wait for his law.”

he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

as a light for the nations,

and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

nor my praise to engraved images.

I tell you about them before they come up.”

the islands and their inhabitants.

Let them shout from the top of the mountains!

and declare his praise in the islands.

He will triumph over his enemies.

Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.

and will dry up the pools.

and I will not forsake them.

They will be utterly disappointed.

that you may see.

and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?

His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.

and make it honorable.

and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’

Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

and they disobeyed his law.

It burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
