3 A [a]bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking [b]flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment in [c]truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have [d]set judgment in the earth: and the [e]isles shall wait for his Law.
5 Thus saith God the Lord (he that created the heavens and spread them abroad: he that stretched forth the earth, and the buds thereof: he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein)
