Behold my servant,
whom I uphold;
mine elect,
in whom my soul
delighteth;
I have put
my spirit
upon him: he shall bring forth
judgment
to the Gentiles.
He shall not cry,
nor lift up,
nor cause his voice
to be heard
in the street.
A bruised
reed
shall he not break,
and the smoking
flax
shall he not quench:
he shall bring forth
judgment
unto truth.
He shall not fail
nor be discouraged,
till he have set
judgment
in the earth:
and the isles
shall wait
for his law.
Thus saith
God
the LORD,
he that created
the heavens,
and stretched them out;
he that spread forth
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:
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;
To open
the blind
eyes,
to bring out
the prisoners
from the prison,
and them that sit
in darkness
out of the prison
house.
I am the LORD:
that is my name:
and my glory
will I not give
to another,
neither my praise
to graven images.
Behold, the former things
are come to pass,
and new things
do I declare:
before they spring forth
I tell
you of them.
Sing
unto the LORD
a new
song,
and his praise
from the end
of the earth,
ye that go down
to the sea,
and all that is therein;
the isles,
and the inhabitants
thereof.
Let the wilderness
and the cities
thereof lift up
their voice, the villages
that Kedar
doth inhabit:
let the inhabitants
of the rock
sing,
let them shout
from the top
of the mountains.

Let them give
glory
unto the LORD,
and declare
his praise
in the islands.
The LORD
shall go forth
as a mighty man,
he shall stir up
jealousy
like a man
of war:
he shall cry,
yea, roar;
he shall prevail
against his enemies.
I have long time
holden my peace;
I have been still,
and refrained
myself: now will I cry
like a travailing woman;
I will destroy
and devour
at once.
I will make waste
mountains
and hills,
and dry up
all their herbs;
and I will make
the rivers
islands,
and I will dry up
the pools.
And I will bring
the blind
by a way
that they knew
not; I will lead
them in paths
that they have not known:
I will make
darkness
light
before
them, and crooked things
straight.
These things
will I do
unto them, and not forsake
them.

They shall be turned
back,
they shall be greatly
ashamed,
that trust
in graven images,
that say
to the molten images,
Ye are our gods.

Hear,
ye deaf;
and look,
ye blind,
that ye may see.
Who is blind,
but my servant?
or deaf,
as my messenger
that I sent?
who is blind
as he that is perfect,
and blind
as the LORD'S
servant?
Seeing
many things,
but thou observest
not; opening
the ears,
but he heareth
not.
The LORD
is well pleased
for his righteousness'
sake; he will magnify
the law,
and make it honourable.
But this is a people
robbed
and spoiled;
they are all of them snared
in holes,
and they are hid
in prison
houses:
they are for a prey,
and none delivereth;
for a spoil,
and none saith,
Restore.

Who gave
Jacob
for a spoil,
and Israel
to the robbers?
did not the LORD,
he against whom
we have sinned?
for they would
not walk
in his ways,
neither were they obedient
unto his law.

Therefore he hath poured

and it hath set him on fire

yet he knew
not; and it burned
him, yet he laid
it not to heart.
