Isaiah 42:1-20

42:1

Behold my servant
<05650>_,

whom I uphold
<08551> (8799)_;

mine elect
<0972>_,

[in whom] my soul
<05315>

delighteth
<07521> (8804)_;

I have put
<05414> (8804)

my spirit
<07307>

upon him: he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)

judgment
<04941>

to the Gentiles
<01471>_.

42:2

He shall not cry
<06817> (8799)_,

nor lift up
<05375> (8799)_,

nor cause his voice
<06963>

to be heard
<08085> (8686)

in the street
<02351>_.

42:3

A bruised
<07533> (8803)

reed
<07070>

shall he not break
<07665> (8799)_,

and the smoking
<03544>

flax
<06594>

shall he not quench
<03518> (8762)_:

he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)

judgment
<04941>

unto truth
<0571>_.

{smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}

42:4

He shall not fail
<03543> (8799)

nor be discouraged
<07533> (8799)_,

till he have set
<07760> (8799)

judgment
<04941>

in the earth
<0776>_:

and the isles
<0339>

shall wait
<03176> (8762)

for his law
<08451>_.

{discouraged: Heb. broken}

42:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

God
<0410>

the LORD
<03068>_,

he that created
<01254> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and stretched them out
<05186> (8802)_;

he that spread forth
<07554> (8802)

the earth
<0776>_,

and that which cometh out
<06631>

of it; he that giveth
<05414> (8802)

breath
<05397>

unto the people
<05971>

upon it, and spirit
<07307>

to them that walk
<01980> (8802)

therein:

42:6

I the LORD
<03068>

have called
<07121> (8804)

thee in righteousness
<06664>_,

and will hold
<02388> (8686)

thine hand
<03027>_,

and will keep
<05341> (8799)

thee, and give
<05414> (8799)

thee for a covenant
<01285>

of the people
<05971>_,

for a light
<0216>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_;

42:7

To open
<06491> (8800)

the blind
<05787>

eyes
<05869>_,

to bring out
<03318> (8687)

the prisoners
<0616>

from the prison
<04525>_,

[and] them that sit
<03427> (8802)

in darkness
<02822>

out of the prison
<03608>

house
<01004>_.

42:8

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:

that [is] my name
<08034>_:

and my glory
<03519>

will I not give
<05414> (8799)

to another
<0312>_,

neither my praise
<08416>

to graven images
<06456>_.

42:9

Behold, the former things
<07223>

are come to pass
<0935> (8804)_,

and new things
<02319>

do I declare
<05046> (8688)_:

before they spring forth
<06779> (8799)

I tell
<08085> (8686)

you of them.

42:10

Sing
<07891> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>

a new
<02319>

song
<07892>_,

[and] his praise
<08416>

from the end
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_,

ye that go down
<03381> (8802)

to the sea
<03220>_,

and all that is therein
<04393>_;

the isles
<0339>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}

42:11

Let the wilderness
<04057>

and the cities
<05892>

thereof lift up
<05375> (8799)

[their voice], the villages
<02691>

[that] Kedar
<06938>

doth inhabit
<03427> (8799)_:

let the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the rock
<05553>

sing
<07442> (8799)_,

let them shout
<06681> (8799)

from the top
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_.

42:12

Let them give
<07760> (8799)

glory
<03519>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and declare
<05046> (8686)

his praise
<08416>

in the islands
<0339>_.

42:13

The LORD
<03068>

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

as a mighty man
<01368>_,

he shall stir up
<05782> (8686)

jealousy
<07068>

like a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_:

he shall cry
<07321> (8686)_,

yea, roar
<06873> (8686)_;

he shall prevail
<01396> (8691)

against his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{prevail: or, behave himself mightily}

42:14

I have long time
<05769>

holden my peace
<02814> (8689)_;

I have been still
<02790> (8686)_,

[and] refrained
<0662> (8691)

myself: [now] will I cry
<06463> (8799)

like a travailing woman
<03205> (8802)_;

I will destroy
<05395> (8799) (8676) <08074> (8799)

and devour
<07602> (8799)

at once
<03162>_.

{devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}

42:15

I will make waste
<02717> (8686)

mountains
<02022>

and hills
<01389>_,

and dry up
<03001> (8686)

all their herbs
<06212>_;

and I will make
<07760> (8804)

the rivers
<05104>

islands
<0339>_,

and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)

the pools
<098>_.

42:16

And I will bring
<03212> (8689)

the blind
<05787>

by a way
<01870>

[that] they knew
<03045> (8804)

not; I will lead
<01869> (8686)

them in paths
<05410>

[that] they have not known
<03045> (8804)_:

I will make
<07760> (8799)

darkness
<04285>

light
<0216>

before
<06440>

them, and crooked things
<04625>

straight
<04334>_.

These things
<01697>

will I do
<06213> (8804)

unto them, and not forsake
<05800> (8804)

them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}

42:17

They shall be turned
<05472> (8738)

back
<0268>_,

they shall be greatly
<01322>

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

that trust
<0982> (8802)

in graven images
<06459>_,

that say
<0559> (8802)

to the molten images
<04541>_,

Ye [are] our gods
<0430>_.

42:18

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye deaf
<02795>_;

and look
<05027> (8685)_,

ye blind
<05787>_,

that ye may see
<07200> (8800)_.

42:19

Who [is] blind
<05787>_,

but my servant
<05650>_?

or deaf
<02795>_,

as my messenger
<04397>

[that] I sent
<07971> (8799)_?

who [is] blind
<05787>

as [he that is] perfect
<07999> (8794)_,

and blind
<05787>

as the LORD'S
<03068>

servant
<05650>_?

42:20

Seeing
<07200> (8800) (8675) <07200> (8804)

many things
<07227>_,

but thou observest
<08104> (8799)

not; opening
<06491> (8800)

the ears
<0241>_,

but he heareth
<08085> (8799)

not.
