New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 42:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 He will not grow dim or be bruised
until he establishes justice on the earth;
the coastlands[a] will wait for his teaching.
5 Thus says God, the Lord,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and its produce,
Who gives breath to its people
and spirit to those who walk on it:
6 I, the Lord, have called you for justice,
I have grasped you by the hand;
I formed you, and set you
as a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations,(A)
