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.’ ”
