Isaiah 42:7

SalvationSickness and healing

5 This is what God the LORD says— He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:

6 “I, the LORD, have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations,

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring prisoners out of the dungeon and those sitting in darkness out from the prison house.

8 I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.

9 Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”
