Isaiah 42:5-9 -- God's calling

The Lord who created the heavens like an open tent above; who made the earth and everything that grows on it; who is the source of life for all who live on this earth says:

• Listen
• I have chosen you to bring justice and I am here at your side
• I selected and sent you to bring light and my promise of hope to the nations.
• You will give sight to the blind
• You will set prisoners free from dark dungeons
•  I won't let idols or humans share my glory and praise
• Everything has happened just as I said it would
• Now I will announce what will happen next
