1. “Here is my servant, the one I support. He is the one I have chosen, and I am very pleased with him. I have filled him with my Spirit, and he will bring justice to the nations.
2. He will not cry out or shout or try to make himself heard in the streets.
3. He will not break even a crushed reed. He will not put out even the weakest flame. He will bring true justice.
4. He will not grow weak or give up until he has brought justice to the world. And people in faraway places will hope to receive his teachings.”
5. The Lord, the true God, said these things. (He created the sky and spread it out over the earth. He formed the earth and everything it produced. He breathes life into all the people on earth. He gives a spirit to everyone who walks on the earth.)
6. “I, the Lord, was right to call you. I will hold your hand and protect you. You will be the sign of my agreement with the people. You will be a light for the other nations.
