God Yahweh,
    he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
    he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it,
    he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
“I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness.
    I will hold your hand.
    I will keep you,
    and make you a covenant for the people,
    as a light for the nations,
    to open the blind eyes,
    to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,
    and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

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:
“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,
To (J)open blind eyes,
To (K)bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
