BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019227">2</a>. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019228">3</a>. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019229">4</a>. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019230">5</a>. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019231">6</a>. I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019232">7</a>. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019233">8</a>. I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019234">9</a>. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019235">10</a>. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019236">11</a>. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019237">12</a>. Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019238">13</a>. The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019239">14</a>. I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019240">15</a>. I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019241">16</a>. And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019242">17</a>. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019243">18</a>. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019244">19</a>. Who is blind, but my servant?  or deaf, as my messenger that I sent?  who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019245">20</a>. Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019246">21</a>. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019247">22</a>. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019248">23</a>. Who among you will give ear to this?  who will hearken and hear for the time to come?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019249">24</a>. Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers?  did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned?  for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019250">25</a>. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.</li>
