The Lord's Chosen Servant
42 (A)Behold (B)my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, (C)in whom my soul delights;
(D)I have put my Spirit upon him;

2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
3 (F)a bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
(G)he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged[a]
till he has established justice in the earth;
and (H)the coastlands wait for his law.

Hebrews 10:5-10
English Standard Version
5 Consequently, (A)when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,
(B)“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in (C)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, (D)“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will (E)we have been sanctified through the offering of (F)the body of Jesus Christ (G)once for all.
