# Connecting Statement:

Matthew continues to quote the prophet Isaiah.

# neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets

Here people not hearing his voice represents him not speaking loudly. And, "in the street" is an idiom that means "publicly." Alternate translation: "he will not he shout in the cities and towns" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# He ... his

All occurrences of these words refer to God's chosen servant.
