23:042:005 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:
23:042:006 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;
23:042:007 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the
prisoners from the
prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
23:042:008 I am the lord: that is my name:
and my glory will I not give
to
another, neither my praise to graven images.
23:042:009 Behold, the former things are come to pass,
and new things do
I
declare: before they spring forth I tell you of
them.
23:042:010 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.
23:042:011 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.
23:042:012 Let them give glory unto the lord,
and declare his praise in
the
islands.
23:042:013 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.
23:042:014 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.
23:042:015 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.
23:042:016 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.
23:042:017 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.
23:042:018 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
23:042:019 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?
23:042:020 Seeing many things, but thou observest
not; opening the ears,
but
he heareth not.
