Isaiah 42:1-9 - The Mission Of Yahweh's Servant
1 Behold now therefore, this is my servant whom I will keep to myself: mine elect; In whom my soul shall be pacified. I will give him my spirit, that he may show forth judgment and equity among the Gentiles. 2 He shall not be an out-crier, nor a high-minded person. His voice shall not be heard in the streets. 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: but faithfully and truly shall he give judgment. 4 He shall neither be overseen nor hasty, that he may restore righteousness unto the earth: and the Gentiles also shall keep his laws.
5 For thus sayeth God the LORD unto him, even he that made the heavens, and spread them abroad, and set forth the earth with her increase: which giveth breath unto the people that is in it, and to them that dwell therein, 6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and led thee by the hand. Therefore will I also defend thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, and to be the light of the Gentiles. 7 That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind; let out the prisoners, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house. 8 Even I am the LORD, and this is my name: and my glory will I give to none other, neither mine honour to graven images. 9 Behold, old things are come to pass, and new things I do declare; and before they come I tell you of them."
