Isaiah 42:3

Isaiah 42:3

The Servant of the Lord

1 “Behold! ^aMy¹ Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul ^bdelights!
^cI have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And¹ smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.

4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
^aAnd the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

5 Thus says God the Lord,
^aWho created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
^bWho gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 42:2

Isaiah 42:4 >>

Break - Christ will not deal rigorously with those that come to him, but he will use all gentleness, cherishing the smallest beginnings of grace, comforting and healing wounded consciences. Quench - That wick of a candle which is almost extinct, he will not quench, but revive and kindle it again. Judgment - The law of God, or the doctrine of the gospel, which he will bring forth, unto, with, or according to truth, that is, truly and faithfully.
