1 * MP: Messiah is God’s chosen servant that brings delight to his Lord. (Matt 12:17-18) “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold;
† MP: Messiah pleases God. (Matt 3:16-17, 17:5) my chosen, in whom my soul delights—
‡ MP: Messiah has the Spirit of God upon him. (See also Is 61:1-2). (Matt 3:16; Acts 10:38) I have put my Spirit on him.
§ MP: Messiah provides “justice” to the Gentiles. (See also Is 11:3-4). (Matt 12:18, 24:14) He will bring mishpat ·justice· to the nations.
2 * MP: Messiah will not draw attention to himself. (Matt 12:19) He will not shout,
nor raise his voice,
nor cause it to be sh'ma ·heard· in the street.
3 † MP: Messiah will have compassion for “the bruised reed,” the poor, the weak, the needy, and broken hearted. (See also Is 61:1-2). (Matt 12:11-13, 12:20) He won’t break a bruised reed.
He won’t quench a dimly burning wick.
He will faithfully bring mishpat ·justice·.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
until he has set mishpat ·justice· ‡ Quoted in Rom 15:12 in the earth,
§ MP: The Gentiles / Coast lands wait for Messiah’s instructions. (See also Is 49:1). (Acts 13:4, 14:26; Eph 2:17) and the islands will * Quoted in Matt 12:18-21 wait for his torot ·teachings·.”
5 Thus says God Adonai ,
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it,
he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
6 † MP: God leads and guides the Messiah in righteous. (John 5:19-20) “I, Adonai , have called you in righteousness,
‡ MP: Messiah is God’s covenant with the people; he was trained and formed by God to accomplish this purpose. (See also Is 49:8). (Matt 26:27-28; Eph 2:5-6; Heb 12:23-24) and will hold your hand,
and will keep you,
§ MP: Messiah is a light to the Gentiles and the world. (See also context of Is 9:1-2, and Is 9:3, 49:6). (Luke 2:30-32; John 8:12) and make you a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· for the people,
as a light for the nations;
7 * MP: Heals the blind both physically and spiritually, both Jew or Gentile, removing them from darkness as a prison. (See also Is 9:1-2, 49:6). (Matt 9:27-30; Luke 4:18 (16-22); John 9:39-41 (Context all ch. 9)) to open the blind eyes,
to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,
and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 “I am Adonai .
That is my name.
I will not give my kavod ·weighty glory· to another,
nor my tehilah ·praise song· to engraved images.
9 † MP: Messiah declares things before they happen. (John 13:19) Behold, the former things have happened,
and I declare new things.
I sh'ma ·hear obey, declare· to you about them before they come up.”
10 Sing to Adonai a new song,
and his tehilah ·praise song· from the end of the earth,
you who go down to the sea,
and all that is therein,
the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices,
with the villages that Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing.
Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12 Let them give kavod ·weighty glory· to Adonai ,
and declare his tehilah ·praise song· in the islands.
13 Adonai will go out like a mighty man.
He will stir up zeal like a man of war.
He will raise a war cry.
Yes, he will shout aloud.
He will triumph over his enemies.
14 “I have been silent a long time.
I have been quiet and restrained myself.
Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 I will destroy mountains and hills,
and dry up all their herbs.
I will make the rivers islands,
and will dry up the pools.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know.
I will lead them in paths that they don’t know.
I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked places straight.
I will do these things,
and I will not forsake them.
17 “Those who trust in engraved images,
who tell molten images,
‘You are our deities’
will be turned back.
They will be utterly disappointed.
18 “Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, you deaf,
and look, you blind,
that you may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant?
Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is as blind as he who is at peace,
and as blind as Adonai ’s servant?
20 You see many things, but don’t observe.
His ears are open, but he does not sh'ma ·hear obey·.
21 It pleased Adonai , for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the Torah ·Teaching·,
and make it honorable.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people.
All of them are snared in holes,
and they are hidden in prisons.
They have become captives, and no one delivers;
and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this?
Who will listen and sh'ma ·hear obey· for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob [Supplanter] as plunder,
and Israel [God prevails] to the robbers?
Didn’t Adonai , he against whom we have sinned?
For they would not walk in his ways,
and they did not sh'ma ·hear obey· his Torah ·Teaching·.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him,
and the strength of battle;
and it set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know;
and it burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
