Isaiah 49:2-6
2He has madeH7760 My 1mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719, In the 2shadowH6738 of His handH3027 He has concealedH2244 Me; And He has also madeH7760 Me a sharpenedH1305 3arrowH2671, He has hiddenH5641 Me in His quiverH827.3He saidH559 to Me, “4You are My ServantH5650, IsraelH3478, 5In whomH834 I will showH6286 My gloryH6286.”4But I saidH559, “I have 6laboredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 My strengthH3581 for nothingH8414 and futilityH1892; NeverthelessH403, the justiceH4941 due to Me is with the LordH3068, And My 7rewardH6468 is with My GodH430.”
5And nowH6258 saysH559 8the LordH3068, who formedH3335 Me from the wombH990 to be His ServantH5650, To bringH7725 JacobH3290 backH7725 to Him, so that 9IsraelH3478 might be gatheredH622 to Him (For I am 10honoredH3513 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, And My GodH430 is My 11strengthH5797),6He saysH559, “It isH7043 tooH4480 12smallH7043 a thingH7043 that You should be My ServantH5650 To raiseH6965 upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290 and to restoreH7725 the 13protectedH5336 ones of IsraelH3478; I will also makeH5414 You a 14lightH216 15of the nationsH1471 So that My salvationH3444 may 16reachH1961 to the 17endH7097 of the earthH776.”
