forth judgment to the Gentiles.

5 |
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: |
6 |
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;
Luke 2:32
|
7 |
To 1open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the
prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Eph 5:14
|
8 |
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to graven images. |
9 | Behold, the former things are come to pass,
and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of
them. |
10 | 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. |
11 |
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. |
12
| Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the
islands. |
13 | 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. |
14 |
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. |
15 | 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. |
16 |
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. |
17 |
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. |
18 |
Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. |
19 | 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? |
20 |
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth
not. |
21 | The LORD is well pleased for his
righteousness' sake; he will magnify the 1law, and make it
honourable.

Isaiah 2:3,
Isaiah 42:4,
Micah 4:2,
Matt 5:18,
Romans 3:31,
Heb 8:10
|
22 | 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. |
23 | Who among you
will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? |
24 |
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. |
25
| 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. |
