Isaiah 49:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 49:2

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.

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.”

3 “And He said to me,
^a‘You are My servant, O Israel,
^bIn whom I will be glorified.’

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.’ ”
