Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my
chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring
forth justice to the nations.
He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a
bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.
He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the
earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who
spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on
it and spirit to those who walk in it: “I am the Lord; I have called you in
righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a
covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are
blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who
sit in darkness.
I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to
carved idols.
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before
they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Since therefore the children share in
flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through
death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong
slavery.
Isaiah 42; Hebrews 2
