The Lord’s Chosen Servant

42 “Here is my servant. I take good care of him.
    I have chosen him. I am very pleased with him.
I will put my Spirit on him.
    He will bring justice to the nations.
He will not shout or cry out.
    He will not raise his voice in the streets.
He will not break a bent twig.
    He will not put out a dimly burning flame.
He will be faithful and make everything right.
    He will not grow weak or lose hope.
He will not give up until he brings justice to the earth.
    The islands will put their hope in his teaching.”

till he establishes justice(L) on earth.
    In his teaching(M) the islands(N) will put their hope.”(O)
