Isaiah 42 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Isaiah 42The Servant, a Light to the Nations

1

a light to the nations,

7 and all that fills it,

the coastlands and their inhabitants.

11Let the desert and its towns lift up their voice,

the villages that Kedar inhabits;

let the inhabitants of Sela shout for joy;

let them shout from the tops of the mountains.

12

and declare his praise in the coastlands.

13 not observe them;

his ears are open, but he does not hear.

Israel’s Disobedience

21

in whose ways they would not walk,

and whose law they would not obey?

25 2 Kings 25.9; Isa 5.25; Hos 7.9 So he poured upon him the heat of his anger

and the fury of war;

it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand;

it burned him, but he did not take it to heart.
