my
chosen, in whom my soul delights:
I
have put my Spirit on him.
He
will bring justice to the nations.
He
will not shout,
nor
raise his voice,
nor
cause it to be heard in the street.
He
won’t break a bruised reed.
He
won’t quench a dimly burning wick.
He
will faithfully bring justice.
He
will not fail nor be discouraged,
until
he has set justice in the earth,
and
the islands wait for his law.”
God
Yahweh,
He
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
He
who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it,
He
who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
“I,
Yahweh, have called you in righteousness.
I
will hold your hand.
I
will keep you,
and
make you a covenant for the people,
as
a light for the nations,
to
open the blind eyes,
to
bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,
and
those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
Isaiah 42:1-7
