Isaiah 42:3-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. "A bruised reed He will not break And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.

4. "He will not be disheartened or crushed Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law."

5. Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it,

6. "I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,

7. To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
