τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἡσαΐου. Isaiah 42:1-4. The quotation follows the Hebr. with slight variation. After ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ … κρίσιν a clause follows, expanding the thought of those words: ‘His force shall not be abated nor broken. Until he hath firmly seated judgment in the earth’ (Lowth’s trans.). In the LXX., Ἰακὼβ and Ἰσραὴλ are inserted as subjects in the first clauses, and there are many verbal discrepancies.
