Isaiah 49:1-3

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.
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, ^fin whom I will be glorified.” ^{▼▼Or I will display my beauty}
