Yahweh’s Chosen Servant
“aBehold, My bServant, whom I uphold;
My cchosen one in whom My dsoul is well‑pleased.
I have put My eSpirit upon Him;
He will bring forth fjustice to the nations.
2 He will not cry out or raise His voice,
Nor make His voice heard in the street.
3 A crushed reed He will not break
And a faintly burning wick He will not extinguish;
He will bring forth ajustice in truth.
4 He will not be afaint or crushed
Until He has established justice in the earth;
And the bcoastlands will wait expectantly for His law.”
5 Thus says the God, Yahweh,
Who acreated the heavens and bstretched them out,
Who spread out the cearth and its offspring,
Who dgives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “I am Yahweh, I have acalled You in righteousness;
I will also btake hold of You by the hand and cguard You,
And I will give You as a dcovenant to the people,
As a elight to the nations,
7 To aopen blind eyes,
To bbring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who inhabit darkness from the prison.
