Isaiah 42:1-4

The Lord's Chosen Servant

42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
I have put my Spirit upon him;
he will bring forth justice to the nations.
 2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
 3 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.
 4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged [1]
till he has established justice in the earth;
and the coastlands wait for his law.
