5. This is what the true God, the Lord, says – the one who created the sky and stretched it out,the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, the one who gives breath to the people on it,and life to those who live on it:
6. “I, the Lord, officially commission you;I take hold of your hand.I protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people,and a light to the nations,
7. to open blind eyes,to release prisoners from dungeons,those who live in darkness from prisons.
8. I am the Lord! That is my name!I will not share my glory with anyone else,or the praise due me with idols.
