Isaiah 42:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 He won't break off a bent reed
    or put out a dying flame,
but he will make sure
    that justice is done.
4 He won't quit or give up
until he brings justice
    everywhere on earth,
and people in foreign nations
    long for his teaching.

5 (A) I am the Lord God.
I created the heavens
    like an open tent above.
I made the earth and everything
    that grows on it.
I am the source of life
for all who live on this earth,
    so listen to what I say.
