Isaiah 42:4 (ASV, KJVS, YLT)

American Standard Version

Isaiah 42

1.  Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2.  He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3.  A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
4.  He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
 5.  Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad 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:
6.  I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7.  to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8.  I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
9.  Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10.  Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11.  Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12.  Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
13.  Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.
14.  I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.
15.  I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16.  And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight.  These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.
17.  They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.
18.  Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19.  Who is blind, but my servant?  or deaf, as my messenger that I send?  who is blind as he that is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?
20.  Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not.
21.  It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22.  But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23.  Who is there among you that will give ear to this?  that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24.  Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers?  did not Jehovah?  he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25.  Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

King James w/Strong's #'s

Isaiah 42

1.  Behold my servant [5650], whom I uphold [8551] (8799); mine elect [0972], [in whom] my soul [5315] delighteth [7521] (8804); I have put [5414] (8804) my spirit [7307] upon him: he shall bring forth [3318] (8686) judgment [4941] to the Gentiles [1471].
2.  He shall not cry [6817] (8799), nor lift up [5375] (8799), nor cause his voice [6963] to be heard [8085] (8686) in the street [2351].
3.  A bruised [7533] (8803) reed [7070] shall he not break [7665] (8799), and the smoking [3544] flax [6594] shall he not quench [3518] (8762): he shall bring forth [3318] (8686) judgment [4941] unto truth [0571].
4.  He shall not fail [3543] (8799) nor be discouraged [7533] (8799), till he have set [7760] (8799) judgment [4941] in the earth [0776]: and the isles [0339] shall wait [3176] (8762) for his law [8451].
 5.  Thus saith [0559] (8804) God [0410] the LORD [3068], he that created [1254] (8802) the heavens [8064], and stretched them out [5186] (8802); he that spread forth [7554] (8802) the earth [0776], and that which cometh out [6631] of it; he that giveth [5414] (8802) breath [5397] unto the people [5971] upon it, and spirit [7307] to them that walk [1980] (8802) therein:
6.  I the LORD [3068] have called [7121] (8804) thee in righteousness [6664], and will hold [2388] (8686) thine hand [3027], and will keep [5341] (8799) thee, and give [5414] (8799) thee for a covenant [1285] of the people [5971], for a light [0216] of the Gentiles [1471];
7.  To open [6491] (8800) the blind [5787] eyes [5869], to bring out [3318] (8687) the prisoners [0616] from the prison [4525], [and] them that sit [3427] (8802) in darkness [2822] out of the prison [3608] house [1004].
8.  I [am] the LORD [3068]: that [is] my name [8034]: and my glory [3519] will I not give [5414] (8799) to another [0312], neither my praise [8416] to graven images [6456].
9.  Behold, the former things [7223] are come to pass [0935] (8804), and new things [2319] do I declare [5046] (8688): before they spring forth [6779] (8799) I tell [8085] (8686) you of them.
10.  Sing [7891] (8798) unto the LORD [3068] a new [2319] song [7892], [and] his praise [8416] from the end [7097] of the earth [0776], ye that go down [3381] (8802) to the sea [3220], and all that is therein [4393]; the isles [0339], and the inhabitants [3427] (8802) thereof.
11.  Let the wilderness [4057] and the cities [5892] thereof lift up [5375] (8799) [their voice], the villages [2691] [that] Kedar [6938] doth inhabit [3427] (8799): let the inhabitants [3427] (8802) of the rock [5553] sing [7442] (8799), let them shout [6681] (8799) from the top [7218] of the mountains [2022].
12.  Let them give [7760] (8799) glory [3519] unto the LORD [3068], and declare [5046] (8686) his praise [8416] in the islands [0339].
13.  The LORD [3068] shall go forth [3318] (8799) as a mighty man [1368], he shall stir up [5782] (8686) jealousy [7068] like a man [0376] of war [4421]: he shall cry [7321] (8686), yea, roar [6873] (8686); he shall prevail [1396] (8691) against his enemies [0341] (8802).
14.  I have long time [5769] holden my peace [2814] (8689); I have been still [2790] (8686), [and] refrained [0662] (8691) myself: [now] will I cry [6463] (8799) like a travailing woman [3205] (8802); I will destroy [5395] (8799) (8676) [8074] (8799) and devour [7602] (8799) at once [3162].
15.  I will make waste [2717] (8686) mountains [2022] and hills [1389], and dry up [3001] (8686) all their herbs [6212]; and I will make [7760] (8804) the rivers [5104] islands [0339], and I will dry up [3001] (8686) the pools [0098].
16.  And I will bring [3212] (8689) the blind [5787] by a way [1870] [that] they knew [3045] (8804) not; I will lead [1869] (8686) them in paths [5410] [that] they have not known [3045] (8804): I will make [7760] (8799) darkness [4285] light [0216] before [6440] them, and crooked things [4625] straight [4334].  These things [1697] will I do [6213] (8804) unto them, and not forsake [5800] (8804) them.
17.  They shall be turned [5472] (8738) back [0268], they shall be greatly [1322] ashamed [0954] (8799), that trust [0982] (8802) in graven images [6459], that say [0559] (8802) to the molten images [4541], Ye [are] our gods [0430].
18.  Hear [8085] (8798), ye deaf [2795]; and look [5027] (8685), ye blind [5787], that ye may see [7200] (8800).
19.  Who [is] blind [5787], but my servant [5650]?  or deaf [2795], as my messenger [4397] [that] I sent [7971] (8799)?  who [is] blind [5787] as [he that is] perfect [7999] (8794), and blind [5787] as the LORD'S [3068] servant [5650]?
20.  Seeing [7200] (8800) (8675) [7200] (8804) many things [7227], but thou observest [8104] (8799) not; opening [6491] (8800) the ears [0241], but he heareth [8085] (8799) not.
21.  The LORD [3068] is well pleased [2654] (8804) for his righteousness [6664]' sake; he will magnify [1431] (8686) the law [8451], and make [it] honourable [0142] (8686).
22.  But this [is] a people [5971] robbed [0962] (8803) and spoiled [8154] (8803); [they are] all of them snared [6351] (8687) in holes [2352] (8676) [0970], and they are hid [2244] (8717) in prison [3608] houses [1004]: they are for a prey [0957], and none delivereth [5337] (8688); for a spoil [4933], and none saith [0559] (8802), Restore [7725] (8685).
23.  Who among you will give ear [0238] (8686) to this?  [who] will hearken [7181] (8686) and hear [8085] (8799) for the time to come [0268]?
24.  Who gave [5414] (8804) Jacob [3290] for a spoil [4933] (8675) [4882], and Israel [3478] to the robbers [0962] (8802)?  did not the LORD [3068], he against whom [2098] we have sinned [2398] (8804)?  for they would [0014] (8804) not walk [1980] (8800) in his ways [1870], neither were they obedient [8085] (8804) unto his law [8451].
25.  Therefore he hath poured [8210] (8799) upon him the fury [2534] of his anger [0639], and the strength [5807] of battle [4421]: and it hath set him on fire [3857] (8762) round about [5439], yet he knew [3045] (8804) not; and it burned [1197] (8799) him, yet he laid [7760] (8799) [it] not to heart [3820].

Young's Literal Translation

Isaiah 42

1.  Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one-My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.
2.  He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.
3.  A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.
4.  He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.
 5.  Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
6.  I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
7.  To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.
8.  I am Jehovah, this is My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
9.  The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
10.  Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.
11.  The wilderness and its cities do lift up the voice, The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.
12.  They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
13.  Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth.  As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.
14.  I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.
15.  I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
16.  And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These are the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
17.  Removed backward-utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, 'Ye are our gods.'
18.  Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
19.  Who is blind but My servant?  And deaf as My messenger I send?  Who is blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?
20.  Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
21.  Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
22.  And this is a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes-all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, 'Restore.'
23.  Who among you giveth ear to this?  Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
24.  Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers?  Is it not Jehovah-He against whom we sinned?  Yea, they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they hearkened to His law.
25.  And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!
