Isaiah 49:1-5
1Listen to Me, O 1islands, And pay attention, you peoples from afar. 2The Lord called Me from the womb; From the 3body of My mother He named Me.2He has made My 4mouth like a sharp sword, In the 5shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a 6select 7arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver.3He said to Me, “8You are My Servant, Israel, 9In Whom I will 10show My glory.”4But I said, “I have 11toiled in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity; Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the Lord, And My 12reward with My God.”
5And now says 13the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that 14Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am 15honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My 16strength),
