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.^(A)
2 He will not cry out 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.^(B)
4 He will not grow faint or be crushed
    until he has established justice in the earth,
    and the coastlands wait for his teaching.^(C)

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

²⁶ who confirms the word of his servant
    and fulfills the prediction of his messengers;
who says of Jerusalem, “It shall be inhabited,”
    and of the cities of Judah, “They shall be rebuilt,
    and I will raise up their ruins”;^(A)

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