Isaiah 42:2

Jesus ChristHumility

1 “Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.

He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the streets.

3 A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.

4 He will not grow weak or discouraged before He has established justice on the earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.”
