Isaiah 42:6 in Context — Isaiah 42

4 No se cansará, ni desmayará, hasta que ponga en la tierra juicio; y las islas esperarán su ley.

5 Así dice el Dios Jehová, el Criador de los cielos, y el que los extiende; el que extiende la tierra y sus verduras; el que da respiración al pueblo que [mora] sobre ella, y espíritu á los que por ella andan:

6 Yo Jehová te he llamado en justicia, y te tendré por la mano; te guardaré y te pondré por alianza del pueblo, por luz de las gentes;

7 Para que abras ojos de ciegos, para que saques de la cárcel á los presos, y de casas de prisión á los que están de asiento en tinieblas.

8 Yo Jehová: este es mi nombre; y á otro no daré mi gloria, ni mi alabanza á esculturas.
