Isaiah 42:1-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
The Servant, a Light to the Nations
42 Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
I have put my spirit upon him;
he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
3 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be crushed
until he has established justice in the earth;
and the coastlands wait for his teaching.
Isaiah 42:9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
9 See, the former things have come to pass,
and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth,
I tell you of them.
