Isaiah 42:6-9

English Standard Version

⁶ “I am the Lord; ^(A)I have called you^[a] in righteousness;
    I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you ^(B)as a covenant for the people,
    ^(C)a light for the nations,
^{7     (D)}to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
    ^(E)from the prison those who sit in darkness.
⁸ I am the Lord; that is my name;
    ^(F)my glory I give to no other,
    nor my praise to carved idols.
⁹ Behold, the former things have come to pass,
    ^(G)and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
    I tell you of them.”
