Isaiah 42:5-9

Isaiah 42:5-9 CSB

This is what God, the LORD, says — who created the heavens and stretched them out,  who spread out the earth and what comes from it,  who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it   — “I am the LORD. I have called you for a righteous purpose,  , and I will hold you by your hand.  I will watch over you, and I will appoint you to be a covenant for the people  and a light to the nations,  in order to open blind eyes,  to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,  and those sitting in darkness from the prison house. I am the LORD. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another  or my praise to idols. The past events have indeed happened. Now I declare new events;  I announce them to you before they occur.”
