Isaiah 42:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

42 ‘Here is my servant.
    I give him strength.
I have chosen him.
    He makes me very happy.
I have put my Spirit on him.
    He will bring justice to the nations.
² He will not cry out.
    He will not shout.
He will not speak loudly in the streets.
³ He will not hurt weak people,
    like someone who breaks a weak reed.
He will not destroy helpless people,
    like someone who puts out a weak flame.
He will be kind to people,
    and he will judge them in a fair way.
