Thus says God the Lord,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
    who spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it,
who gives breath to the people on it,
    and spirit to those who walk in it:
I the Lord have called You in righteousness,
    and will hold Your hand,
and will keep You and appoint You
    for a covenant of the people,
    for a light of the nations,
to open the blind eyes,
    to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
    and those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.

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.
“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,
to open the blind eyes,
    to bring the prisoner out from the dungeon,
        those who sit in darkness from the house of imprisonment.
