“I am the Lord, I have called You (the Messiah) in righteousness [for a righteous purpose],

And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people [Israel],
As a light to the nations (Gentiles),
Isaiah 49:6

He says, “It is too trivial a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the [a]survivors of Israel;
I will also make You a light to the nations
That My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
