aBehold bcmy servant, whom I uphold;

cMine elect, in whom dmy soul delighteth;

eI have put my spirit upon him:

He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

2  He shall not cry, nor lift up,

Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3  A fbruised reed shall he not break,

And the ||smoking flax shall he not †quench:

He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

4  He shall not fail nor be †discouraged,

Till he have set judgment in the earth:

gAnd the isles shall wait for his law.

5  Thus saith God the Lord,

He that created the heavens, and histretched them out;

hkHe that spread forth the earth, and lthat which cometh out of it;

imHe that giveth breath unto the people upon it,

And nspirit to them that walk therein:

6  I the Lord have called thee in righteousness,

And owill hold thine hand, and will keep thee,

And pgive thee for a covenant of the people, qfor a light of the Gentiles;

7  rTo open the blind eyes,

To sbring out the prisoners from the prison,

And tthem that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

8  I am the Lord: that is my name:

uAnd my glory will I not give to vanother,

Neither my praise to graven images.

9  Behold, wthe former things are come to pass,

And xnew things do I declare:

Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
