ISAIAH 42:1-4

Behold my servant,
I shall receive him
as my elect,
my soul has
rejoiced in him.
I have placed
my spirit upon him,
that he may bring forth
judgment to the
nations.
He will not cry out
or raise his voice,
nor will his voice
be heard in the streets.
He will not crush
a nodding reed,
nor will he extinguish
a smoking wick.
He will bring forth
judgment in truth.
He will not falter
until he has laid
judgment upon
the earth,
and the islands
shall await
his Law.
