Commentary for Isaiah 42:2

nor shall he raise [his voice] He shall not raise his voice. It will not be necessary to admonish and to prophesy to the nations, for they will come by themselves to learn from them [i.e., from Israel], as the matter is stated (Zech. 8:23): “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

He shall not cry, as the judge is used to do.¹Comp. Kimchi ad locum: The judge addresses the accused in a loud and harsh tone, in order the better to impress him with the sense of his authority. Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street, in order that people should flock unto him.^1aPeople will flock unto him spontaneously.
