Isaiah 42:1-4

1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking[a] flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged,[b] till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
