Isaiah 42: 1 - 4, 6 - 7
|
| 1
|
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations.
|
| 2
|
He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;
|
| 3
|
a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.
|
| 4
|
He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
|
| 6
|
"I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations,
|
| 7
|
to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
