Isaiah 42:6 in Context — Isaiah 42

4 Ele não fraquejará, nem será esmagado, até que ponha a justiça na terra; e os litorais esperarão a sua doutrina.

5 Assim diz Deus, o SENHOR, que criou os céus, e os esticou; estendeu a terra, e a tudo quanto ela produz; que dá respiração ao povo que nela [habita] ,e espírito aos que nela andam.

6 Eu, o SENHOR, te chamei em justiça, e te tomarei pela mão. E eu te guardarei, e te darei como pacto para o povo e luz para as nações;

7 Para abrir os olhos cegos, para tirar da prisão os presos, [tirar] do cárcere os que habitam em trevas.

8 Eu, EU-SOU; este é o meu nome! Não darei a minha glória a outro, nem o meu louvor às imagens de escultura.
