The function of both similes in Isaiah 42:13 and 14 is to focus the attention on the active intervention of Yahweh during the exilic period. This applies particularly to the simile in verse 14 which should therefore not be seen as a symbol of need or suffering or as an indication of the femininity of Yahweh.
