The Servant, the Light to the Gentiles
1 “Listen, aO coastlands, to Me,
And take heed, you peoples from afar!
bThe Lord has called Me from the1 womb;
From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.
And take heed, you peoples from afar!
bThe Lord has called Me from the1 womb;
From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.
2 And He has made aMy mouth like a sharp sword;
bIn the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me,
And made Me ca polished shaft;
In His quiver He has hidden Me.”
bIn the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me,
And made Me ca polished shaft;
In His quiver He has hidden Me.”
4 aThen I said, ‘I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain;
Yet surely my1 just reward is with the Lord,
And my1 work with my God.’ ”
I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain;
Yet surely my1 just reward is with the Lord,
And my1 work with my God.’ ”
5 “And now the Lord says,
Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him,
So that Israel ais gathered to Him
(For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,
And My God shall be My strength),
Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him,
So that Israel ais gathered to Him
(For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,
And My God shall be My strength),
