Isaiah 2:2-3

2 ^qIt shall come to pass in the latter days
that ^rthe mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and ^sall the nations shall flow to it,
3 and ^tmany peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For ^uout of Zion shall go forth the law, ^{▼▼Or teaching}

Isaiah 49:6-7

6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

that ^abmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
^acthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
^adto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,

because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

12 ^ahTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ^{▼▼Or with the great}

because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
^alyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 54:1-3

The Eternal Covenant of Peace

1 ^am“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who have not been in labor!
For the children of ^anthe desolate one ^aowill be more
than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.
2 ^ap“Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
3 ^aqFor you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities.
