\q1
|
|
\v 1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one, in him I take delight.
|
|
\q1 I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring justice to the nations.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 He will not cry out nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the streets.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench:
|
|
\q1 he will faithfully execute justice.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 He will not grow faint nor be discouraged
|
|
\q1 until he has established justice on the earth;
|
|
\q1 and the coastlands wait for his law.

\q1
|
|
\v 5 This is what God Yahweh says,
|
|
\q1 he who created the heavens and stretched them out ; he who spread out the earth and gives life in it;
|
|
\q1 he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live on it:
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 "I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand.
|
|
\q1 I will keep you and set you as a covenant for the people, as a light for the Gentiles,
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 to open the eyes of the blind, to release the prisoners from the dungeon,
|
|
\q1 and from the house of confinement those who sit in darkness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 I am Yahweh, that is my name;
|
|
\q1 and my glory I will not share with another nor my praise with carved idols.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 See, the previous things came to pass,
|
|
\q1 now I am about to declare new events.
|
|
\q1 Before they begin to occur I will tell you about them."

\q1
|
|
\v 10 Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth;
|
|
\q1 you who go down to the sea, and all that is
|
|
in it, the coastlands, and those who live there.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Let the desert and the cities cry out,
|
|
the villages where Kedar lives, shout for joy!
|
|
\q1 Let the inhabitants of Sela sing; let them shout from the mountaintops.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yahweh will go out as a warrior; he will proceed as a man of war. He will stir up his zeal.
|
|
\q1 He will shout, yes, he will roar his battle cries; he will show his enemies his power.
|

\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself;
|
|
\q1 now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation;
|
|
\q1 and I will turn the rivers into islands and will dry up the marshes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know; in paths that they do not know I will lead them.
|
|
\q1 I will turn the darkness into light before them, and make the crooked places straight.
|
|
\q1 These things I will do, and I will not abandon them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 They will be turned back, they will be completely put to shame, those who trust in carved figures,
|
|
\q1 who say to cast metal figures, "You are our gods."

\q1
|

\v 18 Listen, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Who is blind but my servant? Or deaf like my messenger I send?
|
|
\q1 Who is as blind as my covenant partner, or blind as Yahweh's servant?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 You see many things, but do not comprehend; ears are open, but no one hears.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 It pleased Yahweh to praise his justice and to make his law glorious.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 But this is a people robbed and plundered;
|
|
\q1 they are all trapped in pits, held captive in prisons;
|
|
\q1 they have become a plunder with no one to rescue them, and no one says, "Bring them back!"
|

\q1
|
|
\v 23 Who among you will listen to this? Who will listen and hear in the future?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 Who gave Jacob over to the robber, and Israel to the looters?
|
|
\q1 Was it not Yahweh, against whom we have sinned,
|
|
\q1 in whose ways they refused to walk, and whose law they refused to obey?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 25 Therefore he poured out his fierce anger against them, with the devastation of war.
|
|
\q1 It blazed around them, yet they did not realize it; it burned them, but they did not take it to heart.
