Jesaja 42

1Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one, in him I take delight. 2He will not cry out nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the streets. 3A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench: 4He will not grow faint nor be discouraged 5This is what God Yahweh says— 6“I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand. 7to open the eyes of the blind, to release the prisoners from the dungeon, 8I am Yahweh, that is my name; 9See, the previous things came to pass, 10Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; 11Let the desert and the cities cry out, the villages where Kedar lives, shout for joy! 12Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands. 13Yahweh will go out as a warrior; as a man of war he will stir up his zeal. 14I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself; 15I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; 16I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know; in paths that they do not know I will lead them. 17They will be turned back, they will be completely put to shame, those who trust in carved figures, 18Listen, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see. 19Who is blind but my servant? Or deaf like my messenger I send? 20You see many things, but do not comprehend; ears are open, but no one hears. 21It pleased Yahweh to praise his justice and to make his law glorious. 22But this is a people robbed and plundered; 23Who among you will listen to this? Who will listen and hear in the future? 24Who gave Jacob over to the robber, and Israel to the looters?
