Isaiah 49:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 He made my tongue like a sharp sword
and hid me in the shadow of his hand.
He formed me into a polished arrow,
and he concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, through whom I will manifest my glory.”
4 I formerly believed that I had labored in vain
and had exhausted my strength for nothing
and for no discernible purpose.

in the shadow of his hand(C) he hid me;

and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,(E)
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.(F)”

I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,(H)
and my reward(I) is with my God.”(J)
