Isaiah 49:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

49 Coastlands,^[a] listen to me;
distant peoples, pay attention.
The Lord called^(A) me before I was born.
He named me while I was in my mother’s womb.^(B)
2 He made my words like a sharp sword;^(C)
He hid me in the shadow of His hand.^(D)
He made me like a sharpened arrow;
He hid me in His quiver.
³ He said to me, “You are My Servant, Israel;^(E)
I will be glorified in him.”
