Isaiah 42:3 in Context — Isaiah 42
1 Voici mon serviteur, que je soutiendrai, Mon élu, en qui mon âme prend plaisir. J’ai mis mon esprit sur lui; Il annoncera la justice aux nations.
2 Il ne criera point, il n’élèvera point la voix, Et ne la fera point entendre dans les rues.
3 Il ne brisera point le roseau cassé, Et il n’éteindra point la mèche qui brûle encore; Il annoncera la justice selon la vérité.
4 Il ne se découragera point et ne se relâchera point, Jusqu’à ce qu’il ait établi la justice sur la terre, Et que les îles espèrent en sa loi.
5 Ainsi parle Dieu, l’Éternel, Qui a créé les cieux et qui les a déployés, Qui a étendu la terre et ses productions, Qui a donné la respiration à ceux qui la peuplent, Et le souffle à ceux qui y marchent.
