Isaiah 42:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 42:1

The Servant of the Lord

1 “Behold! ^aMy¹ Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul ^bdelights!
^cI have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And¹ smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.

4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
^aAnd the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

5 Thus says God the Lord,
^aWho created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
^bWho gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:

6 “I,^a the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You ^band give You as a covenant to the people,
As ^ca light to the Gentiles,

7 ^aTo open blind eyes,
To ^bbring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in ^cdarkness from the prison house.

8 I am the Lord, that is My name;
And My ^aglory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.

9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
