Isaiah 42:1-9
1Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
4He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5Thus says God Yahweh, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it; he who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk therein:
6I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to engraved images.
9Behold, the former things have happened, and new things do I declare. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
