Isaiah 49:1-4

21st Century King James Version

49 “Listen, O isles, unto Me, and hearken, ye people from afar! The Lord hath called Me from the womb; from the bowels of My mother hath He made mention of My name.

² And He hath made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand hath He hid Me, and made Me a polished shaft. In His quiver hath He hid Me,

³ and said unto Me, ‘Thou art My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.’

⁴ Then I said, ‘I have labored in vain; I have spent My strength for nought and in vain; yet surely My judgment is with the Lord, and My work with My God.’”
