Isaiah 49:1-2

The Servant of the Lord

1 Listen to me, ^aO coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples ^bfrom afar.
^cThe Lord called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
2 ^dHe made my mouth like a sharp sword;
^ein the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow;
in his quiver he hid me away.

Isaiah 50:4

4 The Lord God has given ^fme
the tongue of those who are taught,
that ^gI may know how to sustain with a word
^hhim who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
he awakens my ear
to hear as those who are taught.
