Isaiah 42:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 This is what God, the Lord, says—
who created the heavens and stretched them out,(A)
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,(B)
who gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk on it(C)—
6 “I am the Lord. I have called you
for a righteous purpose,[a](D)
and I will hold you by your hand.(E)
I will watch over you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people(F)
and a light to the nations,(G)
7 in order to open blind eyes,(H)
to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,(I)
and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.
