Isaiah 42:1–4

THE SERVANT’S MISSION

42 “Thiso is my servant;p I strengthen him,

this is my chosen one;q I delight in him.r

I have put my Spirit on him;s

he will bring justiceC to the nations.t

2 He will not cry out or shout

or make his voice heard in the streets.

3 He will not break a bruised reed,

and he will not put out a smoldering wick;

he will faithfully bring justice.

4 He will not grow weak or be discouraged

until he has established justice on earth.

The coasts and islands will wait for his instruction.”u
