And now says (A)the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that (B)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am (C)honored in the sight of the Lord,
And My God is My (D)strength),
He says, “It is too [a]small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the (E)protected ones of Israel;
I will also make You a (F)light [b]of the nations
So that My salvation may [c]reach to the (G)end of the earth.”
This is what the Lord, the (H)Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One,
Says to the [d](I)despised One,
To the One abhorred by the nation,
To the Servant of rulers:
(J)Kings will see and arise,
Princes will also (K)bow down,
Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”
