Isaiah 49:1-7

1ListenH8085 to Me, O 1islandsH339, And payH7181 attentionH7181, you peoplesH3816 from afarH7350. 2The LordH3068 calledH7121 Me from the wombH990; From the 3bodyH4578 of My motherH517 He namedH2142H8034 Me.2He has madeH7760 My 4mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719, In the 5shadowH6738 of His handH3027 He has concealedH2244 Me; And He has also madeH7760 Me a 6selectH1305 7arrowH2671, He has hiddenH5641 Me in His quiverH827.3He saidH559 to Me, “8You are My ServantH5650, IsraelH3478, 9In WhomH834 I will 10showH6286 My gloryH6286.”4But I saidH559, “I have 11toiledH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 My strengthH3581 for nothingH8414 and vanityH1892; Yet surelyH403 the justiceH4941 due to Me is with the LordH3068, And My 12rewardH6468 with My GodH430.”

5And nowH6258 saysH559 13the LordH3068, who formedH3335 Me from the wombH990 to be His ServantH5650, To bringH7725 JacobH3290 backH7725 to Him, so that 14IsraelH3478 might be gatheredH622 to Him (For I am 15honoredH3513 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, And My GodH430 is My 16strengthH5797),6He saysH559, “It is tooH4480 17smallH7043 a thingH7043 that You should be My ServantH5650 To raiseH6965 up the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290 and to restoreH7725 the 18preservedH5336 ones of IsraelH3478; I will also makeH5414 You a 19lightH216 20of the nationsH1471 So that My salvationH3444 may 21reachH1961 to the 22endH7097 of the earthH776.”7ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the 23RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478 and its HolyH6918 OneH6918, To the 24despisedH960 One, To the One abhorredH8581 by the nationH1471, To the ServantH5650 of rulersH4910, “25KingsH4428 will seeH7200 and ariseH6965, PrincesH8269 will also 26bowH7812 downH7812, BecauseH4616 of the LordH3068 whoH834 is faithfulH539, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 who has chosenH977 You.”
