Isaias 42:3-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

4. He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.

5. Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.

6. I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:

7. That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

8. I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.

9. The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
