1Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one, in whom I take delight! I have put my spirit on him; he will establish justice among the nations.
2He will not shout or raise his voice, or make himself heard in the street.
3He will not break a crushed reed or snuff out a smouldering wick; unfailingly he will establish justice.
4He will never falter or be crushed until he sets justice on earth, while coasts and islands await his teaching.
5These are the words of the LORD who is God, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who fashioned the earth and everything that grows in it, giving breath to its people and life to those who walk on it:
6I the LORD have called you with righteous purpose and taken you by the hand; I have formed you, and destined you to be a light for peoples, a lamp for nations,
7to open eyes that are blind, to bring captives out of prison, out of the dungeon where they lie in darkness.
8I am the LORD; the LORD is my name; I shall not yield my glory to another god, nor my praise to any idol.
9The earlier prophecies have come to pass, and now I declare new things; before they unfold, I announce them to you.
10Sing a new song to the LORD, sing his praise throughout the world, you that sail the broad seas, and you that inhabit the coasts and islands.
11Let the wilderness and its settlements rejoice, and the encampments where Kedar lives. Let the inhabitants of Sela shout for joy, let them cry out from the hilltops.
12Let the coasts and islands ascribe glory to the LORD; let them sing his praise.
13The LORD will go forth as a warrior, a soldier roused to the fury of battle; he will shout, he will raise the battle cry and triumph over his foes.
14Long have I restrained myself, I kept silence and held myself in check; now I groan like a woman in labour, panting and gasping.
15I shall lay waste mountain and hill and shrivel up all their herbage. I shall change rivers into desert wastes and dry up every pool.
16I shall lead the blind on their way and guide them along paths they do not know; I shall turn darkness into light before them and make straight their twisting roads. These things I shall do without fail.
17Those who put their trust in an image, and say to idols, “You are our gods,” will be repulsed in bitter shame.
18You that are deaf, hear now; you that are blind, look and see.
19Who is blind but my servant, who so deaf as the messenger I send? Who so blind as the one who has my trust, so deaf as the servant of the LORD?
20You have seen much but perceived little, your ears are open but you hear nothing.
21Though it pleased the LORD to further his justice by making his law great and glorious,
22yet here is a people taken as spoil and plundered, all of them shut up in holes and hidden away in dungeons. They are carried off as spoil without hope of rescue, as plunder with no one to demand their return.
23Who among you will pay heed to this? Who will give it close attention from now on?
24Who handed over Jacob for plunder, who gave up Israel for spoil? Was it not the LORD, against whom they sinned? They would not follow his ways and refused obedience to his law;
25so on Jacob he poured out his wrath, anger and the fury of battle. It wrapped him in flames, yet he did not learn, burnt him, yet he did not lay it to heart.
