Isaiah 42:3-8 New Century Version (NCV)

3. He will not break a crushed blade of grassor put out even a weak flame.He will truly bring justice;

4. he will not lose hope or give upuntil he brings justice to the world.And people far away will trust his teachings.”

5. God, the Lord, said these things.He created the skies and stretched them out.He spread out the earth and everything on it.He gives life to all people on earth,to everyone who walks on the earth.

6. The Lord says, “I, the Lord, called you to do right,and I will hold your handand protect you.You will be the sign of my agreement with the people,a light to shine for all people.

7. You will help the blind to see.You will free those who are in prison,and you will lead those who live in darkness out of their prison.

8. “I am the Lord. That is my name.I will not give my glory to another;I will not let idols take the praise that should be mine.
