Isaiah 42:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 This is what God, Yahweh, 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 life[a] to those who walk on it(C)—
6 “I, Yahweh, have called You
for a righteous purpose,[b](D)
and I will hold You by Your hand.(E)
I will keep You and 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.

Lexham English Bible
5 Thus says the God, Yahweh,
who created the heavens
and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and its offspring,
who gives breath to the people upon it
and spirit to those who walk in it.
6 “I am Yahweh; I have called you in righteousness,
and I have grasped your hand and watched over you;
and I have given you as a covenant of the people,
as a light of the nations,
7 to open the blind eyes,
to bring the prisoner out from the dungeon,
those who sit in darkness from the house of imprisonment.
