Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
He shall not cryH6817, nor lift upH5375, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351.
A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665, and the smokingH3544 flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 unto truthH571. {smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
He shall not failH3543 nor be discouragedH7533, till he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. {discouraged: Heb. broken}
Thus saithH559 GodH410 the LORDH3068, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretched them outH5186; he that spread forthH7554 the earthH776, and that which cometh outH6631 of it; he that givethH5414 breathH5397 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein:
I the LORDH3068 have calledH7121 thee in righteousnessH6664, and will holdH2388 thine handH3027, and will keepH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, for a lightH216 of the GentilesH1471;
To openH6491 the blindH5787 eyesH5869, to bring outH3318 the prisonersH616 from the prisonH4525, and them that sitH3427 in darknessH2822 out of the prisonH3608 houseH1004.
I am the LORDH3068: that is my nameH8034: and my gloryH3519 will I not giveH5414 to anotherH312, neither my praiseH8416 to graven imagesH6456.
Behold, the former thingsH7223 are come to passH935, and new thingsH2319 do I declareH5046: before they spring forthH6779 I tellH8085 you of them.
SingH7891 unto the LORDH3068 a newH2319 songH7892, and his praiseH8416 from the endH7097 of the earthH776, ye that go downH3381 to the seaH3220, and all that is thereinH4393; the islesH339, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {all…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Let the wildernessH4057 and the citiesH5892 thereof lift upH5375 their voice, the villagesH2691 that KedarH6938 doth inhabitH3427: let the inhabitantsH3427 of the rockH5553 singH7442, let them shoutH6681 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022.
Let them giveH7760 gloryH3519 unto the LORDH3068, and declareH5046 his praiseH8416 in the islandsH339.
The LORDH3068 shall go forthH3318 as a mighty manH1368, he shall stir upH5782 jealousyH7068 like a manH376 of warH4421: he shall cryH7321, yea, roarH6873; he shall prevailH1396 against his enemiesH341. {prevail: or, behave himself mightily}
I have long timeH5769 holden my peaceH2814; I have been stillH2790, and refrainedH662 myself: now will I cryH6463 like a travailing womanH3205; I will destroyH5395+H8074 and devourH7602 at onceH3162. {devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}
I will make wasteH2717 mountainsH2022 and hillsH1389, and dry upH3001 all their herbsH6212; and I will makeH7760 the riversH5104 islandsH339, and I will dry upH3001 the poolsH98.
And I will bringH3212 the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knewH3045 not; I will leadH1869 them in pathsH5410 that they have not knownH3045: I will makeH7760 darknessH4285 lightH216 beforeH6440 them, and crooked thingsH4625 straightH4334. These thingsH1697 will I doH6213 unto them, and not forsakeH5800 them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
They shall be turnedH5472 backH268, they shall be greatlyH1322 ashamedH954, that trustH982 in graven imagesH6459, that sayH559 to the molten imagesH4541, Ye are our godsH430.
HearH8085, ye deafH2795; and lookH5027, ye blindH5787, that ye may seeH7200.
Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
SeeingH7200+H7200 many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104 not; openingH6491 the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 not.
The LORDH3068 is well pleasedH2654 for his righteousness'H6664 sake; he will magnifyH1431 the lawH8451, and make it honourableH142. {it: or, him}
But this is a peopleH5971 robbedH962 and spoiledH8154; they are all of them snaredH6351 in holesH2352+H970, and they are hidH2244 in prisonH3608 housesH1004: they are for a preyH957, and none deliverethH5337; for a spoilH4933, and none saithH559, RestoreH7725. {they are all…: or, in snaring all the young men of them} {for a spoil: Heb. a treading}
Who among you will give earH238 to this? who will hearkenH7181 and hearH8085 for the time to comeH268? {for…: Heb. for the after time?}
Who gaveH5414 JacobH3290 for a spoilH4933+H4882, and IsraelH3478 to the robbersH962? did not the LORDH3068, he against whomH2098 we have sinnedH2398? for they wouldH14 not walkH1980 in his waysH1870, neither were they obedientH8085 unto his lawH8451.
Therefore he hath pouredH8210 upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857 round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it not to heartH3820.

Ye are my witnessesH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and my servantH5650 whom I have chosenH977: that ye may knowH3045 and believeH539 me, and understandH995 that I am he: beforeH6440 me there was no GodH410 formedH3335, neither shall there be afterH310 me. {no…: or, nothing formed of God}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Then thou spakestH1696 in visionH2377 to thy holy oneH2623, and saidstH559, I have laidH7737 helpH5828 upon one that is mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH977 out of the peopleH5971.
AndG2532 loG2400 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106.
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
Then judgmentH4941 shall dwellH7931 in the wildernessH4057, and righteousnessH6666 remainH3427 in the fruitful fieldH3759.
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
While heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, beholdG2400, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 themG846: andG2532 beholdG2400 a voiceG5456 out ofG1537 the cloudG3507, which saidG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106; hear yeG191 himG846.
As for me, this is my covenantH1285 with them, saithH559 the LORDH3068; My spiritH7307 that is upon thee, and my wordsH1697 which I have putH7760 in thy mouthH6310, shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seedH2233, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seed'sH2233 seedH2233, saithH559 the LORDH3068, from henceforth and forH5704 everH5769.
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Behold, my servantH5650 shall deal prudentlyH7919, he shall be exaltedH7311 and extolledH5375, and be veryH3966 highH1361. {deal…: or, prosper}
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath givenH5414 me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045 how to speakH5790 a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782 mine earH241 to hearH8085 as the learnedH3928.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath openedH6605 mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784, neither turned awayH5472 backH268.
I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954.
He is nearH7138 that justifiethH6663 me; who will contendH7378 with me? let us standH5975 togetherH3162: who is mine adversaryH1167+H4941? let him come nearH5066 to me. {mine…: Heb. the master of my cause?}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; who is he that shall condemnH7561 me? lo, they all shall wax oldH1086 as a garmentH899; the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398.
LabourG2038 notG3361 for the meatG1035 whichG3588 perishethG622, butG235 for that meatG1035 whichG3588 endurethG3306 untoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall giveG1325 unto youG5213: forG1063 himG5126 hathG4972 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 sealedG4972. {Labour not: or, Work not}
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, saying, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106.
The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665+H3820, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prisonH6495 to them that are boundH631;
For from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 even unto the going downH3996 of the same my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the GentilesH1471; and in every placeH4725 incenseH6999 shall be offeredH5066 unto my nameH8034, and a pureH2889 offeringH4503: for my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the heathenH1471, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
He shall seeH7200 of the travailH5999 of his soulH5315, and shall be satisfiedH7646: by his knowledgeH1847 shall my righteousH6662 servantH5650 justifyH6663 manyH7227; for he shall bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
BeholdG2400, the hourG5610 comethG2064, yeaG2532, isG2064 nowG3568 comeG2064, thatG2443 ye shall be scatteredG4650, every manG1538 toG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 shall leaveG863 meG1691 aloneG3441: and yetG2532 I amG1510 notG3756 aloneG3441, becauseG3754 the FatherG3962 isG2076 withG3326 meG1700. {his own: or, his own home}
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
AndG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207; inG1722 theeG4671 I am well pleasedG2106.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
BeholdG2400 myG3450 servantG3816, whomG3739 I have chosenG140; myG3450 belovedG27, inG1519 whomG3739 myG3450 soulG5590 is well pleasedG2106: I will putG5087 myG3450 spiritG4151 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 he shall shewG518 judgmentG2920 to the GentilesG1484.
BeholdG2400 myG3450 servantG3816, whomG3739 I have chosenG140; myG3450 belovedG27, inG1519 whomG3739 myG3450 soulG5590 is well pleasedG2106: I will putG5087 myG3450 spiritG4151 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 he shall shewG518 judgmentG2920 to the GentilesG1484.
He shallG2051 notG3756 striveG2051, norG3761 cryG2905; neitherG3761 shall any manG5100 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 inG1722 the streetsG4113.
A bruisedG4937 reedG2563 shall heG2608 notG3756 breakG2608, andG2532 smokingG5188 flaxG3043 shall heG4570 notG3756 quenchG4570, tillG2193+G302 he send forthG1544 judgmentG2920 untoG1519 victoryG3534.
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 coming upG305 out ofG575 the waterG5204, he sawG1492 the heavensG3772 openedG4977, andG2532 the SpiritG4151 likeG5616 a doveG4058 descendingG2597 uponG1909 himG846: {opened: or, cloven, or, rent}
ButG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Go thy wayG4198: forG3754 heG3778 isG2076 a chosenG1589 vesselG4632 unto meG3427, to bearG941 myG3450 nameG3686 beforeG1799 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 kingsG935, andG5037 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
AndG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207; inG1722 theeG4671 I am well pleasedG2106.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they held their peaceG2270, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, ThenG686 hathG1325 GodG2316 alsoG2534 to the GentilesG1484 grantedG1325 repentanceG3341 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004+G3754, I sawG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
DeliveringG1807 theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4571,
ForG1063 he whomG3739 GodG2316 hath sentG649 speakethG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 givethG1325 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 measureG3358 unto him.
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
HowG5613 GodG2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG846+G3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 that were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 thereforeG3767 unto youG5213, thatG3754 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316 is sentG649 unto the GentilesG1484, andG2532 that they will hearG191 itG846.
NowG1161 I sayG3004 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1096 a ministerG1249 of the circumcisionG4061 forG5228 the truthG225 of GodG2316, toG1519 confirmG950 the promisesG1860 made unto the fathersG3962:
AndG1161 that the GentilesG1484 might glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG5228 his mercyG1656; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 I will confessG1843 to theeG4671 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 singG5567 unto thyG4675 nameG3686.
AndG2532 againG3825 he saithG3004, Rejoice, yeG2165 GentilesG1484, withG3326 hisG846 peopleG2992.
AndG2532 againG3825, PraiseG134 the LordG2962, allG3956 yeG134 GentilesG1484; andG2532 laudG1867 himG846, all yeG3956 peopleG2992.
AndG2532 againG3825, EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, There shall beG2071 a rootG4491 of JesseG2421, andG2532 he that shall riseG450 to reign overG757 the GentilesG1484; inG1909 himG846 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG1680 fillG4137 youG5209 with allG3956 joyG5479 andG2532 peaceG1515 inG1722 believingG4100, thatG1519 yeG5209 may aboundG4052 inG1722 hopeG1680, throughG1722 the powerG1411 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
AndG1161 IG1473 myselfG846 alsoG2532 am persuadedG3982 ofG4012 youG5216, myG3450 brethrenG80, thatG3754 yeG846 alsoG2532 areG2075 fullG3324 of goodnessG19, filledG4137 with allG3956 knowledgeG1108, ableG1410 alsoG2532 to admonishG3560 one anotherG240.
NeverthelessG1161, brethrenG80, I have writtenG1125 the more boldlyG5112 unto youG5213 inG575 some sortG3313, asG5613 puttingG1878 youG5209 in mindG1878, becauseG1223 of the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to meG3427 ofG5259 GodG2316,
That IG3165 should beG1519+G1511 the ministerG3011 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 the GentilesG1484, ministeringG2418 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316, thatG2443 the offering upG4376 of the GentilesG1484 might beG1096 acceptableG2144, being sanctifiedG37 byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {offering up: or, sacrificing}
