18 "¹BEHOLD, MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; ²MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL is WELL-PLEASED; ³ I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, ⁴ AND HE SHALL PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.

19 "⁵HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.

20 "⁶A BATTERED REED HE WILL NOT BREAK OFF, AND A SMOLDERING WICK HE WILL NOT PUT OUT, UNTIL HE LEADS JUSTICE TO VICTORY.

21 "⁷AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."
