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;
    ^(E)he will bring forth justice to the nations.
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.

⁹ Behold, the former things have come to pass,
    ^(A)and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
    I tell you of them.”

^26 (A)who confirms the word of his servant
    and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’
    ^(B)and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
    and I will raise up their ruins’;

²² Let them bring them, and ^(A)tell us
    what is to happen.
Tell us the former things, what they are,
    that we may consider them,
that we may know their outcome;
    or declare to us the things to come.
^23 (B)Tell us what is to come hereafter,
    that we may know that you are gods;
^(C)do good, or do harm,
    that we may be dismayed and terrified.^[a]
