Quote of the Day (Book of Isaiah, on God’s Servant, Bringing ‘Justice to the Nations’)

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,

    my chosen one in whom I delight;

I will put my Spirit on him,

    and he will bring justice to the nations.

 He will not shout or cry out,

    or raise his voice in the streets.

 A bruised reed he will not break,

    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

     he will not falter or be discouraged

till he establishes justice on earth.

    In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”—Isaiah 42: 1-4 ((New International Version)

(This detail of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel shows the prophet Isaiah.)
