Dual Panel1Behold my servant <05650>_, whom I uphold <08551> (8799)_; mine elect <0972>_, [in whom] my soul <05315> delighteth <07521> (8804)_; I have put <05414> (8804) my spirit <07307> upon him: he shall bring forth <03318> (8686) judgment <04941> to the Gentiles <01471>_.
2He shall not cry <06817> (8799)_, nor lift up <05375> (8799)_, nor cause his voice <06963> to be heard <08085> (8686) in the street <02351>_.
3A bruised <07533> (8803) reed <07070> shall he not break <07665> (8799)_, and the smoking <03544> flax <06594> shall he not quench <03518> (8762)_: he shall bring forth <03318> (8686) judgment <04941> unto truth <0571>_. {smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
4He shall not fail <03543> (8799) nor be discouraged <07533> (8799)_, till he have set <07760> (8799) judgment <04941> in the earth <0776>_: and the isles <0339> shall wait <03176> (8762) for his law <08451>_. {discouraged: Heb. broken}
5Thus saith <0559> (8804) God <0410> the LORD <03068>_, he that created <01254> (8802) the heavens <08064>_, and stretched them out <05186> (8802)_; he that spread forth <07554> (8802) the earth <0776>_, and that which cometh out <06631> of it; he that giveth <05414> (8802) breath <05397> unto the people <05971> upon it, and spirit <07307> to them that walk <01980> (8802) therein:
6I the LORD <03068> have called <07121> (8804) thee in righteousness <06664>_, and will hold <02388> (8686) thine hand <03027>_, and will keep <05341> (8799) thee, and give <05414> (8799) thee for a covenant <01285> of the people <05971>_, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles <01471>_;
7To open <06491> (8800) the blind <05787> eyes <05869>_, to bring out <03318> (8687) the prisoners <0616> from the prison <04525>_, [and] them that sit <03427> (8802) in darkness <02822> out of the prison <03608> house <01004>_.
8I [am] the LORD <03068>_: that [is] my name <08034>_: and my glory <03519> will I not give <05414> (8799) to another <0312>_, neither my praise <08416> to graven images <06456>_.
9Behold, the former things <07223> are come to pass <0935> (8804)_, and new things <02319> do I declare <05046> (8688)_: before they spring forth <06779> (8799) I tell <08085> (8686) you of them.
10Sing <07891> (8798) unto the LORD <03068> a new <02319> song <07892>_, [and] his praise <08416> from the end <07097> of the earth <0776>_, ye that go down <03381> (8802) to the sea <03220>_, and all that is therein <04393>_; the isles <0339>_, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
11Let the wilderness <04057> and the cities <05892> thereof lift up <05375> (8799) [their voice], the villages <02691> [that] Kedar <06938> doth inhabit <03427> (8799)_: let the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the rock <05553> sing <07442> (8799)_, let them shout <06681> (8799) from the top <07218> of the mountains <02022>_.
12Let them give <07760> (8799) glory <03519> unto the LORD <03068>_, and declare <05046> (8686) his praise <08416> in the islands <0339>_.
13The LORD <03068> shall go forth <03318> (8799) as a mighty man <01368>_, he shall stir up <05782> (8686) jealousy <07068> like a man <0376> of war <04421>_: he shall cry <07321> (8686)_, yea, roar <06873> (8686)_; he shall prevail <01396> (8691) against his enemies <0341> (8802)_. {prevail: or, behave himself mightily}
14I have long time <05769> holden my peace <02814> (8689)_; I have been still <02790> (8686)_, [and] refrained <0662> (8691) myself: [now] will I cry <06463> (8799) like a travailing woman <03205> (8802)_; I will destroy <05395> (8799) (8676) <08074> (8799) and devour <07602> (8799) at once <03162>_. {devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}
15I will make waste <02717> (8686) mountains <02022> and hills <01389>_, and dry up <03001> (8686) all their herbs <06212>_; and I will make <07760> (8804) the rivers <05104> islands <0339>_, and I will dry up <03001> (8686) the pools <098>_.
16And I will bring <03212> (8689) the blind <05787> by a way <01870> [that] they knew <03045> (8804) not; I will lead <01869> (8686) them in paths <05410> [that] they have not known <03045> (8804)_: I will make <07760> (8799) darkness <04285> light <0216> before <06440> them, and crooked things <04625> straight <04334>_. These things <01697> will I do <06213> (8804) unto them, and not forsake <05800> (8804) them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
17They shall be turned <05472> (8738) back <0268>_, they shall be greatly <01322> ashamed <0954> (8799)_, that trust <0982> (8802) in graven images <06459>_, that say <0559> (8802) to the molten images <04541>_, Ye [are] our gods <0430>_.
18Hear <08085> (8798)_, ye deaf <02795>_; and look <05027> (8685)_, ye blind <05787>_, that ye may see <07200> (8800)_.
19Who [is] blind <05787>_, but my servant <05650>_? or deaf <02795>_, as my messenger <04397> [that] I sent <07971> (8799)_? who [is] blind <05787> as [he that is] perfect <07999> (8794)_, and blind <05787> as the LORD'S <03068> servant <05650>_?
20Seeing <07200> (8800) (8675) <07200> (8804) many things <07227>_, but thou observest <08104> (8799) not; opening <06491> (8800) the ears <0241>_, but he heareth <08085> (8799) not.
21The LORD <03068> is well pleased <02654> (8804) for his righteousness <06664>_' sake; he will magnify <01431> (8686) the law <08451>_, and make [it] honourable <0142> (8686)_. {it: or, him}
22But this [is] a people <05971> robbed <0962> (8803) and spoiled <08154> (8803)_; [they are] all of them snared <06351> (8687) in holes <02352> (8676) <0970>_, and they are hid <02244> (8717) in prison <03608> houses <01004>_: they are for a prey <0957>_, and none delivereth <05337> (8688)_; for a spoil <04933>_, and none saith <0559> (8802)_, Restore <07725> (8685)_. {they are all...: or, in snaring all the young men of them} {for a spoil: Heb. a treading}
23Who among you will give ear <0238> (8686) to this? [who] will hearken <07181> (8686) and hear <08085> (8799) for the time to come <0268>_? {for...: Heb. for the after time?}
24Who gave <05414> (8804) Jacob <03290> for a spoil <04933> (8675) <04882>_, and Israel <03478> to the robbers <0962> (8802)_? did not the LORD <03068>_, he against whom <02098> we have sinned <02398> (8804)_? for they would <014> (8804) not walk <01980> (8800) in his ways <01870>_, neither were they obedient <08085> (8804) unto his law <08451>_.
25Therefore he hath poured <08210> (8799) upon him the fury <02534> of his anger <0639>_, and the strength <05807> of battle <04421>_: and it hath set him on fire <03857> (8762) round about <05439>_, yet he knew <03045> (8804) not; and it burned <01197> (8799) him, yet he laid <07760> (8799) [it] not to heart <03820>_.
