18 (A)Behold, My [a]Servant whom I [b]have chosen;
(B)My Beloved in whom My soul [c]is well-pleased;
(C)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
(D)And He shall proclaim [d]justice to the [e]Gentiles.
19 (E)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 (F)A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He [f]leads [g]justice to victory.
21 (G)And in His name the [h]Gentiles will hope.”
