Bible: Isa. 42:1; 45:23; 49:6

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 
45:23 To his father he sent the following: 1  ten donkeys loaded with the best products of Egypt and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, food, and provisions for his father’s journey.

49:6 O my soul, do not come into their council,

do not be united to their assembly, my heart, 1 

for in their anger they have killed men,

and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.
