Isaiah 42:4

He will not grow dim or be crushed ¹  before establishing justice on the earth; the coastlands ²  will wait in anticipation for his decrees.” ³ 

he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."

"He will not be disheartened or crushed Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law."

He will not stop until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth. Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction."

He won't tire out and quit. He won't be stopped until he's finished his work--to set things right on earth. Far-flung ocean islands wait expectantly for his teaching."

His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.

He will not grow faint or be crushed until he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching.

He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law."

He will not grow dim or be crushed ¹  before establishing justice on the earth; the coastlands ²  will wait in anticipation for his decrees.” ³
