5 Thus says God the Lord,
(A)Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
(B)Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
6 “I,(C) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You (D)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As (E)a light to the Gentiles,
7 (F)To open blind eyes,
To (G)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in (H)darkness from the prison house.

That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

Israel Is Not Forgotten
21 “Remember these, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will not be (A)forgotten by Me!
22 (B)I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for (C)I have redeemed you.”
23 (D)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout, you lower parts of the earth;
Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And (E)glorified Himself in Israel.
