18 (A)“Behold, my (B)servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.
(C)I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;
20 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory;
21 (D)and in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

4 The Lord God has given (A)me
the tongue of those who are taught,
that (B)I may know how to sustain with a word
(C)him who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;

to hear as those who are taught.
5 (D)The Lord God has opened my ear,
(E)and I was not rebellious;
I turned not backward.
6 (F)I gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting.
7 But the Lord God helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
(G)therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
8 (H)He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
9 (I)Behold, the Lord God helps me;
who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.

Isaiah 49:3-8
English Standard Version
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, (A)in whom I will be glorified.”[a]
4 (B)But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”
5 (C)And now the Lord says,
he (D)who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for (E)I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
(F)I will make you (G)as a light for the nations,
that (H)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
(I)the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
(J)to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
(K)“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
The Restoration of Israel
8 Thus says the Lord:
(L)“In a (M)time of favor I have answered you;

to establish the land,

English Standard Version
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 (K)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (L)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (M)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (N)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (O)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (P)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
