Isaiah 42:6

6 “I am the Lord; ^fI have called you ^{▼▼The Hebrew for you is singular; four times in this verse} in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you ^has a covenant for the people,
ⁱa light for the nations,

Isaiah 49:4-8

4 ^jBut I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”
5 ^kAnd now the Lord says,
he ^lwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for ^mI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
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;
ⁿI will make you ^oas a light for the nations,
that ^pmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
^qthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
^rto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
^s“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Restoration of Israel

8 Thus says the Lord:
^t“In a ^utime of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you ^vand give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
^wto apportion the desolate heritages,

Isaiah 50:4-9

4 The Lord God has given ^xme
the tongue of those who are taught,
that ^yI may know how to sustain with a word
^zhim who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
he awakens my ear
to hear as those who are taught.
5 ^aaThe Lord God has opened my ear,
^aband I was not rebellious;
I turned not backward.
6 ^acI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting.
7 But the Lord God helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
^adtherefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
8 ^aeHe who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
9 ^afBehold, the Lord God helps me;
who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.
