Isaiah 42:7

The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant

⁶ I the LORD have called thee in righteousness and will hold thee by thine hand; I will keep thee and place thee as my covenant unto the people as light unto the Gentiles ⁷ To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
⁸ I am the LORD. This is my name, and my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
