The Nature of the Servant’s Work ‘He shall bring forth justice to the nations’ (42:1). Mishpat, rendered ‘justice,’ encompasses the idea of judgment but, more fundamentally, the law (the Torah) which was to go forth from Jerusalem (2:3). The Messiah will bring the rule of God to all nations. Recently, a prominent rabbi was interviewed on a major network TV show. He commented on the need to establish justice, quoting God’s command from Deuteronomy 16:20: Tzedek, tzedek tirdoph (‘Justice, justice pursue!’).
