Chapter 42

Future Restoration/Empire/Kingdom of God: 42:1-4=13

Future Judgment (Israel): 42:14-25

"He will bring forth justice to the nations.... He will faithfully bring forth justice.... He will not be disheartened or crushed, until he has established justice in the earth" (42: 1-4). 

"A bruised reed He will not break" (42:3).

None of this sounds like the reign of usury.

"I will appoint you as a covenant to the people (Israel), as a light to the nations (the Gentiles)" (42:6).
