³ He will not break a broken reed,
    and he not will extinguish a dim wick.
        He will bring justice forth in^[a] faithfulness.
⁴ He will not grow faint,
    and he will not be broken
until he has established justice in the earth.
    And the coastlands wait for his teaching.
⁵ Thus says the God, Yahweh,
    who created the heavens
and stretched them out,
    who spread out the earth and its offspring,
who gives breath to the people upon it
    and spirit to those who walk in it.
