42 “Behold! ^(A)My Servant whom I uphold,
My ^[a]Elect One in whom My soul ^(B)delights!
^(C)I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
² He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
³ A bruised reed He will not break,
And ^[b]smoking flax He will not ^[c]quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
⁴ He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
^(D)And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

⁹ Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

^26 (A)Who confirms the word of His servant,
And performs the counsel of His messengers;
Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’
To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’
And I will raise up her waste places;

²² “Let^(A) them bring forth and show us what will happen;
Let them show the ^(B)former things, what they were,
That we may ^[a]consider them,
And know the latter end of them;
Or declare to us things to come.
^23 (C)Show the things that are to come hereafter,
That we may know that you are gods;
Yes, ^(D)do good or do evil,
That we may be dismayed and see it together.
