- 2He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
- 3He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
- 4His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.

- 6I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
- 7To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
- 8I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
- 9See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.

- 22But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.
