Isaiah 42:2-4
Living Bible
2 He will be gentle—he will not shout nor quarrel in the streets. 3 He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame. He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair. He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged. 4 He won’t be satisfied[a] until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth, nor until even distant lands beyond the seas have put their trust in him.
