The Servant, the Light to the Gentiles
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.
bIn the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me,
And made Me ca polished shaft;
In His quiver He has hidden Me.”
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.’ ”
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),
‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a alight to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
The Redeemer of Israel,1 their Holy One,
aTo Him1 whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
b“Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You.”
“In an aacceptable time I have heard You,
And in the day of salvation I have helped You;
I will1 preserve You band give You
As a covenant to the people,
To restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate1 heritages;
