⁵ 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),
⁶ 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.”
⁷ 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.”

⁸ This is what the Lord says:
“At a ^(A)favorable time I answered You,
And on a day of salvation I helped You;
And I will ^(B)watch over You and ^(C)make You a covenant of the people,
To ^[a](D)restore the land, to give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands;
⁹ Saying to those who are ^(E)bound, ‘^[b]Go free,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
They will feed along the roads,
And their pasture will be on all ^(F)bare heights.
¹⁰ They will ^(G)not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching ^(H)heat or sun strike them down;
For ^(I)He who has compassion on them will ^(J)lead them,
And He will guide them to ^(K)springs of water.
