New Testament

Isaiah 42:1-8 English Revised Version (ERV)

1. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment in truth.

4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

5. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

6. I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

7. to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

8. I am the LORD; that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
