Isaiah 42:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 This is what God the Lord says,
Who (A)created the heavens and (B)stretched them out,
Who spread out the (C)earth and its [a]offspring,
Who (D)gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:
6 “I am the Lord, I have (E)called You in righteousness,
I will also (F)hold You by the hand and (G)watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a (H)covenant to the people,
As a (I)light to the nations,
7 To (J)open blind eyes,
To (K)bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.

American Standard Version
5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will [a]keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
