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.

God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out.
    He created the earth and everything in it.
He gives breath to everyone,
    life to everyone who walks the earth.
And it is he who says,
“I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness.
    I will take you by the hand and guard you,
and I will give you to my people, Israel,
    as a symbol of my covenant with them.
And you will be a light to guide the nations.
    You will open the eyes of the blind.
You will free the captives from prison,
    releasing those who sit in dark dungeons.
