5
Thus says God the LORD, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he who spread abroad the eretz and that which comes out of it; he who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk therein:
6
I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Goyim;
7
to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8
I am the LORD, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to engraved images.
9
Behold, the former things have happened, and new things do I declare. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
