"Here is my servant, whom I support, my chosen one, in whom I take pleasure. I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring justice to the Goyim.

He will not cry or shout; no one will hear his voice in the streets.

he will not weaken or be crushed until he has established justice on the earth, and the coastlands wait for his Torah."

This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Yesha`yahu the prophet,

"Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will announce justice to the Gentiles.

He will not fight or shout, no one will hear his voice in the streets;

he will not snap off a broken reed or snuff out a smoldering wick until he has brought justice through to victory.

In him the Gentiles will put their hope."
