Isaiah 42

Isaiah 42

The prophet introduces the First Servant Song, describing the Lord's chosen Servant: He will not cry out or raise His voice, but will bring justice to the nations. This Servant is appointed to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, opening the eyes of the blind and freeing prisoners from darkness. God declares that He alone is the Lord, and He will not share His glory with idols. The chapter laments the blindness and deafness of Israel, which has become prey and plunder due to its disobedience.
