5-12. Faithfulness Leads Men to Praise God—[Isaiah 42:5-12 quoted.] This work had been given to Israel, but they had neglected their God-appointed work. Had they been faithful in all parts of the Lord’s vineyard, souls would have been converted. The Lord’s praise would have been heard from the ends of the earth. From the wilderness and the cities thereof, and from the tops of the mountains, men would have shouted His praise, and told of His glory (Manuscript 151, 1899).{4BC 1146.2}

5-12. Trofasthed fører mennesker til at prise Gud. - [Es. 42,5-12 citeret.] Dette arbejde var blevet givet til Israel, men de havde forsømt deres Gudsbestemte arbejde. Var de trofaste i alle dele af Herrens vingård, ville sjæle være blevet omvendte. Herrens pris vil være hørt fra jordens ender. Fra ørknen og byerne deri, og fra bjergtoppene, ville mennesker have udråbt Hans pris, og fortalt om Hans herlighed (MS 151, 1899).
