Isaiah 42:6-7
6“I am the Lord; aI have called you ▼▼The Hebrew for you is singular; four times in this verse
in righteousness;I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you cas a covenant for the people,
da light for the nations,
7 eto open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
ffrom the prison those who sit in darkness.
Isaiah 49:25-26
25For thus says the Lord:g“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 hI will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk iwith their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that jI am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Isaiah 53:12
12 kTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ▼▼Or with the great
mand he shall divide the spoil with the strong, ▼
▼Or with the numerous
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
oyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
Matthew 12:28-29
28But if it is pby the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then qthe kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or rhow can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed she may plunder his house.Luke 11:21
21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;2 Peter 2:18-20
18For, tspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely uescaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them vfreedom, wbut they themselves are slaves ▼▼Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20For if, yafter they have escaped the defilements of the world zthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, aathe last state has become worse for them than the first.
