Isaiah 42:2
He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the streets.
BSB
ASV
He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
KJV
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
(Verse 2) He will not cry out or raise his voice: his voice will not be heard in the streets. LXX: he will not cry out, nor raise his voice, nor will his voice be heard in the streets. He will not cry out, for he will be gentle and meek. He will not show favoritism in judgment, nor will he raise his voice in the streets. According to Symmachus, he will not be deceived, understanding all the schemes of the devil.
He shall not cry - He will not make a clamor or noise; he will not be boisterous, in the manner of a man of strife and contention. Nor lift up - That is, his voice. Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street - He shall not t use loud and angry words, as they do who are engaged in conflict, but all his teaching shall be gentle, humble, and mild. How well this agrees with the character of the Lord Jesus it is not necessary to pause to show. He was uniformly unostentatious, modest, and retiring.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
