1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him
and he will bring justice to the nations. |
2 He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets. |
3 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; |
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his law the islands will put their hope." ... |
6 "I, the LORD , have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles, |
7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. |
