Isaiah 42:1-9 - The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant

¹ "Here is my servant, whom I support, my chosen one, in whom I delight. I've placed my Spirit upon him; and he'll deliver his justice throughout the world. ² He won't shout, or raise his voice, or make it heard in the street. ³ A crushed reed he will not break, and a fading candle he won't snuff out. He'll bring forth justice for the truth. ⁴ And he won't grow faint or be crushed until he establishes justice on the mainland, and the coastlands take ownership of his Law."

⁵ This is what God says the God who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its produce, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it: ⁶ "I've called you in righteousness. I'll take hold of your hand. I'll preserve you and appoint you as a covenant to the people, as a light for the nations, ⁷ to open blind eyes and to bring out those who are bound from their cells, and those sitting in darkness from prison. ⁸ I, the LORD, am the one, and I won't give my name and glory to another, nor my praise to idols. ⁹ See, the former things have taken place, and I'm announcing the new things before they spring into being I'm telling you about them."
