XLII. 1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, (in whom) my soul is well pleased: I have put my soul upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.

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

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and a dimly burning wick shall he not quench; according to truth shall he bring forth judgment.

4 He shall not burn dimly nor be bruised, till he (shall) set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

5 Thus saith the God, the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things that come forth of it; that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

6 Ι the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for -a light of the nations:

7 To open blind eyes, to bring out a captivefrom prison, and them that sit in darkness from a house of confinement

8 Iam the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, and my praise to graven images.
