1Behold this is my servant upon whom I lean, my elect in who my soul is pacified: I have given my spirit upon him, that he may show forth judgement among the gentiles.
2He shall not be an outcryer, nor lift up his voice, His voice shall not be heard in the streets.
3And a bruised reed shall he not break and the smoking flax shall he not quench: but faithfully and truly shall he give judgement.
4He shall not be pensive nor careful, that
he may restore righteousness unto the earth: and the Gentiles also shall look for his laws.
5For thus saith God the LORD unto him, even he that made the heavens, and spread them abroad, and set forth the earth with her increase: which giveth breath unto the people that is in it, and spiritto them that dwell therein)
6I the LORD have called ye in righteousness, and led thee by the hand Therefore will I also defend the, and give thee for a covenant of the people, and to
be the light of the Gentiles.
7That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind, let out the prisoners from their bonds, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house.
8Even I am the LORD, and this is my name: and my glory will I bive to none other, neither mine honour to graven images.:
9Behold old things are come to pass, and new things do I declare, and or ever they come I tell you of them.
