1 Here is my servant, whom I support.Here is my chosen one, with whom I am pleased.I have put my Spirit on him.He will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry out or raise ⌊his voice⌋.He will not make his voice heard in the streets.
3 He will not break off a damaged cattail.He will not even put out a smoking wick.He will faithfully bring about justice.
4 He will not be discouraged or crusheduntil he has set up justice on the earth.The coastlands will wait for his teachings.
5 The Lord God created the heavens and stretched them out.He shaped the earth and all that comes from it.He gave life to the people who are on itand breath to those who walk on it.This is what the Lord God says:
6 I, the Lord, have called you to do what is right.I will take hold of your hand.I will protect you.I will appoint you as my promise to the people,as my light to the nations.
7 You will give sight to the blind,bring prisoners out of prisons,and bring those who live in darknessout of dungeons.
