He will faithfully bring justice.

He will not fail nor be discouraged,
until he has set justice on the earth,
and the islands wait for his law.”
5
God the LORD,

he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it,
he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

Selected verse
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness.
I will hold your hand.
I will keep you,
and make you a covenant for the people,
as a light for the nations,
7
to open the blind eyes,
to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,
and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8
“I am the LORD.
That is my name.
I will not give my glory to another,
nor my praise to engraved images.

Behold, the former things have happened
and I declare new things.
I tell you about them before they come up.”
