Isaiah 49:3
Contemporary English Version
3 The Lord said to me,
“Israel, you are my servant;
and because of you
I will be highly honored.”
Isaiah 49:3
New International Version
Isaiah 49:5-6
Contemporary English Version
5 Even before I was born,
the Lord God chose me
to serve him and to lead back
the people of Israel.
So the Lord has honored me
and made me strong.
6 (A) Now the Lord says to me,
“It isn't enough for you
to be merely my servant.
You must do more than lead back
survivors from the tribes
of Israel.
I have placed you here as a light
for other nations;
you must take my saving power
to everyone on earth.”
Isaiah 49:5-6
New International Version
5 And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb(A) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel(B) to himself,
for I am[a] honored(C) in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength(D)—
6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(E)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(F)
I will also make you a light(G) for the Gentiles,(H)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(I)
