Isa 42:6

Isa 42:6I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Goyim;

Isa 42:12Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

Isa 42:13

Isa 42:13The LORD will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yes, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.

The Blindness of the People

Isa 42:14

Isa 42:14I have long time held my shalom; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.

Isa 42:15

Isa 42:15I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.

Isa 42:16

Isa 42:16I will bring the blind by a way that they don't know; in paths that they don't know will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

Isa 42:17

Isa 42:17They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly disappointed, who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, You are our gods.

Isa 42:18Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.

Isa 42:22

Isa 42:23

Isa 42:23Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will listen and hear for the time to come?

Isa 42:24

Isa 42:24Who gave Ya`akov for a spoil, and Yisra'el to the robbers? Didn't the LORD? he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient to his law.

Isa 42:25
