Isaiah 42:1-9

Names of God Bible

The Lord’s Servant Will Bring Righteousness to the World

42 Here is my Ebed, whom I support.
    Here is my chosen one, with whom I am pleased.
    I have put my Ruach on him.
    He will bring justice to the nations.
²He will not cry out or raise his voice.
    He will not make his voice heard in the streets.
³He will not break off a damaged cattail.
    He will not even put out a smoking wick.
    He will faithfully bring about justice.
⁴He will not be discouraged or crushed
    until he has set up justice on the earth.
    The coastlands will wait for his teachings.

⁵Yahweh El created the heavens and stretched them out.
    He shaped the earth and all that comes from it.
    He gave life to the people who are on it
        and breath to those who walk on it.

This is what Yahweh El says:

⁶I, Yahweh, 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.
⁸I am Yahweh; that is my name.
    I will not give my glory to anyone else
        or the praise I deserve to idols.
⁹What I said in the past has come true.
    I will reveal new things before they happen.
