Isaiah 42:2-4
International Standard Version
2 He won’t shout,
or raise his voice,
or make it heard in the street.
3 A crushed reed he will not break,
and a fading candle[a] he won’t snuff out.[b]
He’ll bring forth[c] justice for the truth.
4 And[d] he won’t grow faint or be crushed
until he establishes justice on the mainland,
and the coastlands take ownership of[e] his Law.”
