Isaiah 42:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Thus says God, the Lord,
    who created the heavens and stretched them out,
    who fashioned the earth and all that grows in it,
who gives breath to the people who dwell on it
    and spirit to those who walk upon it:
⁶ I, the Lord, have called you for a righteous purpose;
    I have taken you by the hand.
I have formed you and established you
    to be a covenant to the people
    and a light to the nations,
⁷ to open the eyes of the blind,
    and to lead captives out of prison,
and to release from the dungeon
    those who live in darkness.
