Isaiah 42:7

The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant

⁶ I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations. ⁷ To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness. ⁸ I am Jehovah, this is My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
