Isaiah 42:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 I, the Lord, have called you to do what is right.
I will take hold of your hand.
I will protect you.
I will appoint you as my promise [a] to the people,
as my light to the nations.
7 You will give sight to the blind,
bring prisoners out of prisons,
and bring those who live in darkness out of dungeons.
8 I am the Lord; that is my name.
I will not give my glory to anyone else
or the praise I deserve to idols.
