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.)
