3A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
4He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5Thus says God Yahweh, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it; he who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk therein:
6I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to engraved images.
9Behold, the former things have happened, and new things do I declare. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
