Isaiah 42:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵The Lord God created the heavens and stretched them out.
He shaped the earth and all that comes from it.
He gave life to the people who are on it
and breath to those who walk on it.

This is what the Lord God says:

⁶I, the Lord, have called you to do what is right.
I will take hold of your hand.
I will protect you.
I will appoint you as my promise ^[a] to the people,
as my light to the nations.
⁷You will give sight to the blind,
bring prisoners out of prisons,
and bring those who live in darkness out of dungeons.
