Isaiah 49:3-6
3And he said to me, “You are my servant,Israel, ain whom I will be glorified.” ▼
▼Or I will display my beauty
4 cBut 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 dAnd now the Lord says,
he ewho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for fI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6he 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;
gI will make you has a light for the nations,
that imy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
