Isaiah 42:1-4

The Mission of Yahweh’s Servant

1 Look! here is my servant; I hold him,
my chosen one, in whom my soul delights.
I have ⌞put⌟ ^{▼▼Literally “given”} my spirit on him;
he will bring justice forth to the nations.
2 He will not cry out and lift up
and make his voice heard in the street.
3 He will not break a broken reed,
and he not will extinguish a dim wick.
He will bring justice forth in ^{▼▼Or “to”} faithfulness.
4 He will not grow faint,
and he will not be broken
until he has established justice in the earth.
And the coastlands wait for his teaching.
