Proverbs 25:15
Christian Standard Bible
15 A ruler can be persuaded through patience,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.(A)
Isaiah 40:10-14
Christian Standard Bible
10 See, the Lord God comes with strength,
and his power establishes his rule.(A)
His wages are with him,(B)
and his reward accompanies him.
11 He protects his flock like a shepherd;(C)
he gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them in the fold of his garment.
He gently leads those that are nursing.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?(D)
Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure
or weighed the mountains on a balance
and the hills on the scales?
13 Who has directed[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
or who gave him counsel?(E)
14 Who did he consult?
Who gave him understanding(F)
and taught him the paths of justice?
Who taught him knowledge
and showed him the way of understanding?

Matthew 12:11-21
Christian Standard Bible
11 He replied to them, “Who among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?(A) 12 A person is worth far more than a sheep; (B) so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored,(C) as good as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, how they might kill him.(D)
The Servant of the Lord
15 Jesus was aware of this and withdrew. Large crowds[a] followed him, and he healed them all.(E) 16 He warned them not to make him known,(F) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
18 Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.(G)
19 He will not argue or shout,
and no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a bruised reed,
and he will not put out a smoldering wick,
until he has led justice to victory.[b]
21 The nations will put their hope in his name.[c](H)
