"He will not cry, he will not make his voice heard outside"

Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah (42, 1-7)

Thus says the Lord: “Here is my servant whom I support, my chosen one who has all my favor. I made my mind rest on him; to the nations he will proclaim law. He won't cry, he won't raise his voice, he won't make his voice heard outside. He will not break the sagging reed, he will not quench the weakening wick, he will proclaim the righteous in truth. He will not weaken, he will not waver, until he establishes the law on the earth, and the distant islands aspire to receive his laws. "

Thus says God, the Lord, who creates the heavens and spreads them, who establishes the earth and what it produces; it gives breath to the people who live there, and spirit to those who walk through it: “I, the Lord, have called you according to righteousness; I take you by the hand, I mold you, I make you the covenant of the people, the light of the nations: you will open the eyes of the blind, you will bring out the captives from their prison, and from their dungeon those who dwell in darkness. "

The Word of the Lord.
