Bible: Isa. 42:1-4; 53:3, 7

42:1

The Lord Commissions His Special Servant

1 

“Here is my servant whom I support,

my chosen one in whom I take pleasure.

I have placed my spirit on him;

he will make just decrees 2  for the nations. 3 

42:2 He will not cry out or shout;

he will not publicize himself in the streets. 4 

42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,

a dim wick he will not extinguish; 5 

he will faithfully make just decrees. 6 

42:4 He will not grow dim or be crushed 7 

before establishing justice on the earth;

the coastlands 8  will wait in anticipation for his decrees.” 9 

1:3 God said, 1  “Let there be 2  light.” 3  And there was light! 1:7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. 4  It was so. 5
