Bible. Isaiah
23:041:020 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand
together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the
Holy One of Israel hath created it.
23:041:021 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong
reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
23:041:022 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let
them shew the former things, what they be, that we may
consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us
things for to come.
23:041:023 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know
that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be
dismayed, and behold it together.
23:041:024 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an
abomination is he that chooseth you.
23:041:025 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from
the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall
come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth
clay.
23:041:026 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and
beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is
none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea,
there is none that heareth your words.
23:041:027 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will
give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
23:041:028 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there
was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a
word.
23:041:029 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their
molten images are wind and confusion.
23:042:001 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul
delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring
forth judgment to the Gentiles.
23:042:002 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard
in the street.
23:042:003 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall
he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
23:042:004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
23:042:005 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that
which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people
upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
23:042:006 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold
thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
23:042:007 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the
prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
