⁸ But you, Israel, ^(A)my servant,
    Jacob, ^(B)whom I have chosen,
    the offspring of Abraham, ^(C)my friend;
⁹ you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
    and called ^(D)from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are ^(E)my servant,
    ^(F)I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
¹⁰ fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with ^(G)my righteous right hand.

^5 (A)“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born ^(B)I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet ^(C)to the nations.”

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and ^(F)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
^8 (G)Do not be afraid of them,
^(H)for I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.”
