  • Isaiah 49:1–7

    The Servant of the Lord

    49:1   Listen to me, O coastlands,
        and give attention, you peoples from afar.
      The LORD called me from the womb,
        from the body of my mother he named my name.
    2   He made my mouth like a sharp sword;
        in 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, in whom I will be glorified.”
    4   But 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   And now the LORD says,
        he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
      to bring Jacob back to him;
        and that Israel might be gathered to him—
      for I 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;
      I will make you as a light for the nations,
        that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
    7   Thus says the LORD,
        the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
      to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
        the servant of rulers:
      “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.”
