1 Behold my servant, I will hold fast in him; my chosen, my soul delighted; I gave my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the nations. 2 He shall not cry, and be shall not lift up, and he shall not cause his voice to be heard without. 3 A broken reed he shall not break, and bedimmed flax shall he not quench it: he shall bring forth judgment to truth. 4 He shall not be weak, and he shall not break, till he shall set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law: 5 Thus said God Jehovah, creating the heavens and stretching them out; and spreading out the earth and its productions; giving breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those going upon it: 6 I Jehovah called thee in justice, and I will hold by thy hand, and I will guard thee and give thee for a covenant of the people, for the light of the nations, 7 To open the eyes of the blind, to bring forth the bound out of prison, those sitting in darkness out of the house of the prison.
