Isaiah 42:3 in Context — Isaiah 42
1 Eis aqui meu servo, a quem sustento; meu escolhido, [em quem] minha alma se agrada. Sobre ele eu pus o meu Espírito; ele trará justiça às nações.
2 Ele não gritará, nem levantará [seu clamor] ; ele não fará ouvir sua voz nas ruas.
3 A cana rachada ele não quebrará, nem apagará o pavio que fumega; com a verdade ele trará justiça.
4 Ele não fraquejará, nem será esmagado, até que ponha a justiça na terra; e os litorais esperarão a sua doutrina.
5 Assim diz Deus, o SENHOR, que criou os céus, e os esticou; estendeu a terra, e a tudo quanto ela produz; que dá respiração ao povo que nela [habita] ,e espírito aos que nela andam.
