New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
17 This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him:
17
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
18
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public.
19
He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
20
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 And his name will be the hope of all the world.”
21
In his name the nations will put their hope.”
