2 He will not shout or raise his voiceor make loud speeches in the streets.
3 He will not break off a bent reedor put out a flickering lamp.He will bring lasting justice to all.
4 He will not lose hope or courage;he will establish justice on the earth.Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching.”
5 God created the heavens and stretched them out;he fashioned the earth and all that lives there;he gave life and breath to all its people.And now the Lord God says to his servant,
6 “I, the Lord, have called you and given you powerto see that justice is done on earth.Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples;through you I will bring light to the nations.
7 You will open the eyes of the blindand set free those who sit in dark prisons.
8 “I alone am the Lord your God.No other god may share my glory;I will not let idols share my praise.
