Isaiah 42:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 I the Lord have called thee in [a]righteousness, and will hold [b]thine hand, and I will keep thee, and give thee for a [c]covenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
7 That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sit in darkness, out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my [d]glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
