Isaiah 42:1-4
11‘Here is my servant. I give him strength. I have chosen him. He makes me very happy. I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2He will not cry out. He will not shout. He will not speak loudly in the streets.
3He will not hurt weak people, like someone who breaks a weak reed. He will not destroy helpless people, like someone who puts out a weak flame. He will be kind to people, and he will judge them in a fair way.
4He will remain strong and brave, until he brings justice to the whole world. People who are in lands far away will wait for him to teach them.’
