New Testament

Isaiah 42:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Here is My servant, whom I uphold,My chosen one, in whom My soul delights.I have put My Spirit upon him;he shall bring forth justice to the nations.

2. He shall not cry out, nor lift up his voice,nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3. A bruised reed he shall not break,and the smoking flax he shall not quench;he shall bring forth justice faithfully.

4. He shall not be disheartened nor be discouraged,until he has set justice in the earth;and the coastlands shall wait for his law.

5. Thus says God the Lord,who created the heavens and stretched them out,who spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it,who gives breath to the people on it,and spirit to those who walk in it:

6. I the Lord have called You in righteousness,and will hold Your hand,and will keep You and appoint Youfor a covenant of the people,for a light of the nations,
