2 ) He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
-
3 ) A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
-
4 ) He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

-
9 ) Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
