Dual Panel1"Behold<2005>, My Servant<5650>, whom I uphold<8551>; My chosen<972> one in whom My soul<5315> delights<7521>. I have put<5414> My Spirit<7307> upon Him; He will bring<3318> forth<3318> justice<4941> to the nations<1471>.
2"He will not cry<6817> out or raise<5375> His voice, Nor<3808> make<8085> His voice<6963> heard<8085> in the street<2351>.
3"A bruised<7533> reed<7070> He will not break<7665> And a dimly<3544> burning wick<6594> He will not extinguish<3518>; He will faithfully<571> bring<3318> forth<3318> justice<4941>.
4"He will not be disheartened<3543> or crushed<7533> Until<5704> He has established<7760> justice<4941> in the earth<776>; And the coastlands<339> will wait<3176> expectantly<3176> for His law<8451>."
5Thus<3541> says<559> God<410> the LORD<3068>, Who created<1254> the heavens<8064> and stretched<5186> them out, Who spread<7554> out the earth<776> and its offspring<6631>, Who gives<5414> breath<5397> to the people<5971> on it And spirit<7307> to those who walk<1980> in it,
6"I am the LORD<3068>, I have called<7121> You in righteousness<6664>, I will also hold<2388> You by the hand<3027> and watch<5341> over You, And I will appoint<5414> You as a covenant<1285> to the people<5971>, As a light<216> to the nations<1471>,
7To open<6491> blind<5787> eyes<5869>, To bring<3318> out prisoners<616> from the dungeon<4525> And those who dwell<3427> in darkness<2822> from the prison<1004><3608>.
8"I am the LORD<3068>, that is My name<8034>; I will not give<5414> My glory<3519> to another<312>, Nor<3808> My praise<8416> to graven<6456> images<6456>.
9"Behold<2009>, the former<7223> things<7223> have come<935> to pass<935>, Now I declare<5046> new<2319> things<2319>; Before<2962> they spring<6779> forth<6779> I proclaim<8085> them to you."
10Sing<7891> to the LORD<3068> a new<2319> song<7892>, Sing His praise<8416> from the end<7097> of the earth<776>! You who go<3381> down<3381> to the sea<3220>, and all<4393> that is in it. You islands<339>, and those who dwell<3427> on them.
11Let the wilderness<4057> and its cities<5892> lift<5375> up their voices, The settlements<2691> where Kedar<6938> inhabits<3427>. Let the inhabitants<3427> of Sela<5553> sing<7442> aloud<7442>, Let them shout<6681> for joy<6681> from the tops<7218> of the mountains<2022>.
12Let them give<7760> glory<3519> to the LORD<3068> And declare<5046> His praise<8416> in the coastlands<339>.
13The LORD<3068> will go<3318> forth<3318> like a warrior<1368>, He will arouse<5782> His zeal<7068> like a man<376> of war<4421>. He will utter<7321> a shout<7321>, yes<637>, He will raise<6873> a war<6873> cry<6873>. He will prevail<1396> against<5921> His enemies<340>.
14"I have kept<2814> silent<2814> for a long<5769> time<5769>, I have kept<2814> still<2790> and restrained<662> Myself. Now like a woman in labor<3205> I will groan<6463>, I will both<3162> gasp<5395> and pant<7602>.
15"I will lay<2717> waste<2717> the mountains<2022> and hills<1389> And wither<3001> all<3605> their vegetation<6212>; I will make<7760> the rivers<5104> into coastlands<339> And dry<3001> up the ponds<98>.
16"I will lead<1980> the blind<5787> by a way<1870> they do not know<3045>, In paths<5410> they do not know<3045> I will guide<1869> them. I will make<7760> darkness<4285> into light<216> before<6440> them And rugged<4625> places<4625> into plains<4334>. These<428> are the things<1697> I will do<6213>, And I will not leave<5800> them undone<5800>."
17They will be turned<5472> back<268> and be utterly<954> put<954> to shame<954>, Who trust<982> in idols<6459>, Who say<559> to molten<4541> images<4541>, "You are our gods<430>."
18Hear<8085>, you deaf<2795>! And look<5027>, you blind<5787>, that you may see<7200>.
19Who<4310> is blind<5787> but My servant<5650>, Or so deaf<2795> as My messenger<4397> whom I send<7971>? Who<4310> is so blind<5787> as he that is at peace<7999> with Me, Or so blind<5787> as the servant<5650> of the LORD<3068>?
20You have seen<7200> many<7227> things<7227>, but you do not observe<8104> them; Your ears<241> are open<6491>, but none<3808> hears<8085>.
21The LORD<3068> was pleased<2654> for His righteousness'<6664> sake<4616> To make<1431> the law<8451> great<1431> and glorious<142>.
22But this<1931> is a people<5971> plundered<962> and despoiled<8154>; All<3605> of them are trapped<6351> in caves<2352>, Or are hidden<2244> away in prisons<3608>; They have become<1961> a prey<957> with none<369> to deliver<5337> them, And a spoil<4933>, with none<369> to say<559>, "Give<7725> them back<7725>!"
23Who<4310> among you will give<238> ear<238> to this<384>? Who will give<7181> heed<7181> and listen<8085> hereafter<268>?
24Who<4310> gave<5414> Jacob<3290> up for spoil<4933>, and Israel<3478> to plunderers<962>? Was it not the LORD<3068>, against whom<2098> we have sinned<2398>, And in whose ways<1870> they were not willing<14> to walk<1980>, And whose law<8451> they did not obey<8085>?
25So He poured<8210> out on him the heat<2534> of His anger<639> And the fierceness<5807> of battle<4421>; And it set<3857> him aflame<3857> all<4480><5439> around<5439>, Yet he did not recognize<3045> it; And it burned<1197> him, but he paid<7760> no<3808> attention<5921><3820>.
