Isaiah 42:5–8
5 This is what God, the Lord, says—
who created the heavens and stretched them out,v
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,w
who gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk on itx—
6 “I am the Lord. I have called you
and I will hold you by your hand.z
I will watch over you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the peoplea
and a light to the nations,b
7 in order to open blind eyes,c
to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,d
and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.
8 I am the Lord. That is my name,
and I will not give my glory to anothere
or my praise to idols.
