KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H5650 Behold my servant H8551 , whom I uphold [H8799] H972 ; mine elect H5315 , in whom my soul H7521 delighteth [H8804] H5414 ; I have put [H8804] H7307 my spirit H3318 upon him: he shall bring forth [H8686] H4941 judgment H1471 to the Gentiles.

2 H6817 He shall not cry [H8799] H5375 , nor lift up [H8799] H6963 , nor cause his voice H8085 to be heard [H8686] H2351 in the street.

3 H7533 A bruised [H8803] H7070 reed H7665 shall he not break [H8799] H3544 , and the smoking H6594 flax H3518 shall he not quench [H8762] H3318 : he shall bring forth [H8686] H4941 judgment H571 unto truth.

4 H3543 He shall not fail [H8799] H7533 nor be discouraged [H8799] H7760 , till he have set [H8799] H4941 judgment H776 in the earth H339 : and the isles H3176 shall wait [H8762] H8451 for his law.

5 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H410 God H3068 the LORD H1254 , he that created [H8802] H8064 the heavens H5186 , and stretched them out [H8802] H7554 ; he that spread forth [H8802] H776 the earth H6631 , and that which cometh out H5414 of it; he that giveth [H8802] H5397 breath H5971 unto the people H7307 upon it, and spirit H1980 to them that walk [H8802] therein:

6 H3068 I the LORD H7121 have called [H8804] H6664 thee in righteousness H2388 , and will hold [H8686] H3027 thine hand H5341 , and will keep [H8799] H5414 thee, and give [H8799] H1285 thee for a covenant H5971 of the people H216 , for a light H1471 of the Gentiles;

7 H6491 To open [H8800] H5787 the blind H5869 eyes H3318 , to bring out [H8687] H616 the prisoners H4525 from the prison H3427 , and them that sit [H8802] H2822 in darkness H3608 out of the prison H1004 house.

8 H3068 I am the LORD H8034 : that is my name H3519 : and my glory H5414 will I not give [H8799] H312 to another H8416 , neither my praise H6456 to graven images.

9 H7223 Behold, the former things H935 are come to pass [H8804] H2319 , and new things H5046 do I declare [H8688] H6779 : before they spring forth [H8799] H8085 I tell [H8686] you of them.

10 H7891 Sing [H8798] H3068 unto the LORD H2319 a new H7892 song H8416 , and his praise H7097 from the end H776 of the earth H3381 , ye that go down [H8802] H3220 to the sea H4393 , and all that is therein H339 ; the isles H3427 , and the inhabitants [H8802] thereof.

11 H4057 Let the wilderness H5892 and the cities H5375 thereof lift up [H8799] H2691 their voice, the villages H6938 that Kedar H3427 doth inhabit [H8799] H3427 : let the inhabitants [H8802] H5553 of the rock H7442 sing [H8799] H6681 , let them shout [H8799] H7218 from the top H2022 of the mountains.

12 H7760 Let them give [H8799] H3519 glory H3068 unto the LORD H5046 , and declare [H8686] H8416 his praise H339 in the islands.

13 H3068 The LORD H3318 shall go forth [H8799] H1368 as a mighty man H5782 , he shall stir up [H8686] H7068 jealousy H376 like a man H4421 of war H7321 : he shall cry [H8686] H6873 , yea, roar [H8686] H1396 ; he shall prevail [H8691] H341 against his enemies [H8802] .

14 H5769 I have long time H2814 holden my peace [H8689] H2790 ; I have been still [H8686] H662 , and refrained [H8691] H6463 myself: now will I cry [H8799] H3205 like a travailing woman [H8802] H5395 ; I will destroy [H8799] [H8676] H8074 [H8799] H7602 and devour [H8799] H3162 at once.

15 H2717 I will make waste [H8686] H2022 mountains H1389 and hills H3001 , and dry up [H8686] H6212 all their herbs H7760 ; and I will make [H8804] H5104 the rivers H339 islands H3001 , and I will dry up [H8686] H98 the pools.

16 H3212 And I will bring [H8689] H5787 the blind H1870 by a way H3045 that they knew [H8804] H1869 not; I will lead [H8686] H5410 them in paths H3045 that they have not known [H8804] H7760 : I will make [H8799] H4285 darkness H216 light H6440 before H4625 them, and crooked things H4334 straight H1697 . These things H6213 will I do [H8804] H5800 unto them, and not forsake [H8804] them.

17 H5472 They shall be turned [H8738] H268 back H1322 , they shall be greatly H954 ashamed [H8799] H982 , that trust [H8802] H6459 in graven images H559 , that say [H8802] H4541 to the molten images H430 , Ye are our gods.

18 H8085 Hear [H8798] H2795 , ye deaf H5027 ; and look [H8685] H5787 , ye blind H7200 , that ye may see [H8800] .

19 H5787 Who is blind H5650 , but my servant H2795 ? or deaf H4397 , as my messenger H7971 that I sent [H8799] H5787 ? who is blind H7999 as he that is perfect [H8794] H5787 , and blind H3068 as the LORD'S H5650 servant?

20 H7200 Seeing [H8800] [H8675] H7200 [H8804] H7227 many things H8104 , but thou observest [H8799] H6491 not; opening [H8800] H241 the ears H8085 , but he heareth [H8799] not.

21 H3068 The LORD H2654 is well pleased [H8804] H6664 for his righteousness H1431 ' sake; he will magnify [H8686] H8451 the law H142 , and make it honourable [H8686] .

22 H5971 But this is a people H962 robbed [H8803] H8154 and spoiled [H8803] H6351 ; they are all of them snared [H8687] H2352 in holes [H8676] H970 H2244 , and they are hid [H8717] H3608 in prison H1004 houses H957 : they are for a prey H5337 , and none delivereth [H8688] H4933 ; for a spoil H559 , and none saith [H8802] H7725 , Restore [H8685] .

23 H238 Who among you will give ear [H8686] H7181 to this? who will hearken [H8686] H8085 and hear [H8799] H268 for the time to come?

24 H5414 Who gave [H8804] H3290 Jacob H4933 for a spoil [H8675] H4882 H3478 , and Israel H962 to the robbers [H8802] H3068 ? did not the LORD H2098 , he against whom H2398 we have sinned [H8804] H14 ? for they would [H8804] H1980 not walk [H8800] H1870 in his ways H8085 , neither were they obedient [H8804] H8451 unto his law.

25 H8210 Therefore he hath poured [H8799] H2534 upon him the fury H639 of his anger H5807 , and the strength H4421 of battle H3857 : and it hath set him on fire [H8762] H5439 round about H3045 , yet he knew [H8804] H1197 not; and it burned [H8799] H7760 him, yet he laid [H8799] H3820 it not to heart.
