Isaiah 42:5-7
International Standard Version
God Speaks about the Servant
5 This is what God says—
the God[a] who created the heavens
and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and its produce,
who gives breath to the people on it
and life[b] to those who walk in it:
6 “I’ve[c] called you in righteousness.
I’ll take hold of your hand.
I’ll preserve you and appoint you
as a covenant to the people,[d]
as a light for the nations,
7 to open blind eyes
and to bring out those who are bound[e] from their cells,
and[f] those sitting in darkness from prison.
