Isaiah 42:9 Context
7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkenesse out of the prison house. 8I am the Lord; that is my name, and my glory will I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images. 9Behold, the former things are come to passe, and new things doe I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 10Sing vnto the Lord a newe song, and his praise from the end of the earth: yee that goe downe to the sea, and all that is therein; the yles, and the inhabitants thereof. 11Let the wildernes and the cities thereof lift vp their voyce, the villages that Kedar doeth inhabite: let the inhabitants of the rocke sing, let them shoute from the top of the mountaines.
