Isaiah 42:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ ‘I have chosen you to bring righteousness.
I will take hold of your hand,
    and I will keep you safe.
Through you, I will make a covenant with my people,
    and you will bring light to the other nations.
⁷ You will cause blind people to see.
    You will cause prisoners to be free.
You will bring out into the open
    people who sit in dark prisons.
⁸ I am the Lord. That is my name.
    I will not let anyone else share my glory.
I will not let people praise idols.
    I am the only one that they must praise.
