Isaiah 49:4-7

4But I saidH559, I have laboredH3021 in vain, I have spent my strengthH3581 for nought and vanityH1892; yet surely the justiceH4941 due to me is with Jehovah, and my recompenseH6468 with my GodH430.

5And nowH6258 saith Jehovah that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to beH1961 his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 again to him, and that IsraelH3478 beH1961 gatheredH622 unto him (for I amH1961 honorable in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah, and my GodH430 is becomeH1961 my strengthH5797); 6yea, he saith, It is too lightH216 a thingH7043 that thou shouldest beH1961 my servantH5650 to raiseH6965 up the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preserved of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the Gentiles, that thou mayest beH1961 my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. 7ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his HolyH6918 OneH6918, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorreth, to a servantH5650 of rulers: KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965; princesH8269, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithfulH539, even the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, who hath chosenH977 thee.
