Isaiah 42:1-9 - The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant
1 Behold my slave, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall give judgment unto the Gentiles. 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets. 3 He shall not break a bruised reed, nor shall he quench the smoking flax; he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not tire nor faint until he has set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, the Creator of the heavens and he that stretches them out; he that spreads forth the earth and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it and spirit to those that walk therein: 6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness and will hold thee by thine hand; I will keep thee and place thee as my covenant unto the people as light unto the Gentiles 7 that thou might open the eyes of the blind, that thou might bring out the prisoners from the prison and those that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am the LORD. This is my name, and my glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and I declare new things: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
