4His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
5God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
6I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
7To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
8I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
9See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.
10Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.
