Isaiah 42:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.(A)
4 He will not grow faint or be crushed
until he has established justice in the earth,
and the coastlands wait for his teaching.(B)
5 Thus says God, the Lord,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
who gives breath to the people upon it
and spirit to those who walk in it:(C)

3 A crushed reed He will not break
And a faintly burning wick He will not extinguish;

Until He has established justice in the earth;
And the (C)coastlands will wait expectantly for His [a]law.”
5 Thus says the God, Yahweh,
Who (D)created the heavens and (E)stretched them out,
Who spread out the (F)earth and its [b]offspring,
Who (G)gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,
