3. He will not break off a damaged cattail.He will not even put out a smoking wick.He will faithfully bring about justice.
4. He will not be discouraged or crusheduntil he has set up justice on the earth.The coastlands will wait for his teachings.
5. The Lord God created the heavens and stretched them out.He shaped the earth and all that comes from it.He gave life to the people who are on itand breath to those who walk on it.This is what the Lord God says:
6. I, the Lord, have called you to do what is right.I will take hold of your hand.I will protect you.I will appoint you as my promise to the people,as my light to the nations.
7. You will give sight to the blind,bring prisoners out of prisons,and bring those who live in darknessout of dungeons.
8. I am the Lord; that is my name.I will not give my glory to anyone elseor the praise I deserve to idols.
