5-9 God’s Message,the God who created the cosmos, stretched out the skies,laid out the earth and all that grows from it,Who breathes life into earth’s people,makes them alive with his own life:“I am God. I have called you to live right and well.I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe.I have set you among my people to bind them to me,and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations,To make a start at bringing people into the open, into light:opening blind eyes,releasing prisoners from dungeons,emptying the dark prisons.I am God. That’s my name.I don’t franchise my glory,don’t endorse the no-god idols.Take note: The earlier predictions of judgment have been fulfilled.I’m announcing the new salvation work.Before it bursts on the scene,I’m telling you all about it.”
