Deuteronomy 22:23-24

New King James Version

²³“If a young woman who is a virgin is ^(A)betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, ²⁴then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he ^(B)humbled his neighbor’s wife; ^(C)so you shall put away the evil from among you.

Isaiah 42:1-7

New King James Version

The Servant of the Lord

42 “Behold! ^(A)My Servant whom I uphold,
My ^[a]Elect One in whom My soul ^(B)delights!
^(C)I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
²He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
³A bruised reed He will not break,
And ^[b]smoking flax He will not ^[c]quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
⁴He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
^(D)And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

⁵Thus says God the Lord,
^(E)Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
^(F)Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
⁶“I,^(G) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You ^(H)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As ^(I)a light to the Gentiles,
⁷^(J)To open blind eyes,
To ^(K)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in ^(L)darkness from the prison house.

⁶^(A)Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;

And Your law is ^(C)within my heart.”
