Isaiah, Chapter 49, verses 1-6

Listen to Me, O islands,
And pay attention, you peoples from afar.
The LORD called Me from the womb;
From the^abody of My mother He named Me.

He has made My mouth like a sharp sword,
In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;
And He has also made Me a^bselect arrow,
He has hidden Me in His quiver.

He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel,
In Whom I will^cshow My glory.”

⁴

But I said, “I have toiled in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the LORD,
And My reward with My God.”

⁵

And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am honored in the sight of the LORD,
And My God is My strength),

⁶

He says, “It is too^dsmall a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also make You a light^eof the nations
So that My salvation may^freach to the end of the earth.”
