Isaiah 42:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ The Lord God who created the heavens and stretched them out, who created the earth and everything in it, who gives life and breath and spirit to everyone in all the world, he is the one who says to his Servant, the Messiah^[a]: ⁶ “I the Lord have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will guard and support you, for I have given you to my people as the personal confirmation of my covenant with them.^[b] You shall also be a light to guide the nations unto me. ⁷ You will open the eyes of the blind and release those who sit in prison darkness and despair.
