Psalms 2:1-3 [2:1] Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2:2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed , saying, [2:3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

[22:2] O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. [22:3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. [22:4] Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. [22:5] They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

See above [22:8] He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. [22:9] But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. [22:10] I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

[42:3] A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [42:4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. [42:5] Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: [42:6] I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles ; [42:7] To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isaiah 49:1-7 [49:1] Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb ; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

[49:4] Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. [49:5] And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant , to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. [49:6] And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles , that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Isaiah 50:4-7 [50:4] The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. [50:5] The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. [50:6] I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. [50:7] For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Isaiah 52:13-15 [52:13] Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

Isaiah 53:1-12 [53:1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? [53:2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him . [53:3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows , and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised , and we esteemed him not. [53:4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows : yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [53:5] But he was wounded for our transgressions , he was bruised for our iniquities : the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed . [53:6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all .
See above [53:7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. [53:8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken . [53:9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. [53:10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days , and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. [53:11] He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied : by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities .
See above [53:12] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors ; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors .

[3:2] But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: [3:3] And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
