The Mission of Yahweh’s Servant

• my chosen one, in whom my soul delights.
• I have put[fn] my spirit on him;
  • he will bring justice forth to the nations.
  • 2 He will not cry out and lift up and make his voice heard in the street.
  • 3 He will not break a broken reed, and he not will extinguish a dim wick.
    • He will bring justice forth in[fn] faithfulness.
  • 4 He will not grow faint, and he will not be broken
• until he has established justice in the earth.
  • And the coastlands wait for his teaching.
  • 5 Thus says the God, Yahweh, who created the heavens
• and stretched them out,
  • who spread out the earth and its offspring,
• who gives breath to the people upon it
  • and spirit to those who walk in it.
  • 6 “I am Yahweh; I have called you in righteousness, and I have grasped your hand and watched over you;
• and I have given you as a covenant of the people,
  • as a light of the nations,
  • 7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoner out from the dungeon,
    • those who sit in darkness from the house of imprisonment.
• 8 I am Yahweh; that is my name,and I do not give my glory to another,
  • nor[fn] my praise to the idols.
  • 9 Look! the former things have come, and I declare new things.
    • I announce[fn] them to you before they sprout up.”
