Isaiah 42:7

The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant

⁶ I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; ⁷ To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house. ⁸ I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
