Isaiah 42:4-6
The Voice
4 And though he faces obstacles, resistance, and great pressure,
he will not crack; he will not give up until things are set right.
Even the coastlands wait patiently for his instruction.
5 God, the Eternal One, who made the starry skies,
stretched them tight above and around;
Who cast the shimmering globe of earth and filled it with life;
who gives breath and animates the people;
Who walks and talks with life-giving spirit has this to say:
6 Eternal One: I am the Eternal One. By righteousness I have called you.
I will take you by the hand and keep you safe.
You are given as a covenant between Me and the people:
a light for the nations, a shining beacon to the world.
Isaiah 42:4-6
New International Version
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice(A) on earth.
In his teaching(B) the islands(C) will put their hope.”(D)
5 This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,(E) who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth(F) with all that springs from it,(G)
who gives breath(H) to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the Lord, have called(I) you in righteousness;(J)
I will take hold of your hand.(K)
I will keep(L) you and will make you
to be a covenant(M) for the people
and a light(N) for the Gentiles,(O)
