Isaiah 49:3-5

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³ He said to me, ‘You are my servant,^(A)
Israel, in whom I will be glorified.’
⁴ But I myself said: I have laboured in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and futility;
yet my vindication is with the Lord,
and my reward is with my God.
⁵ And now, says the Lord,
who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him
so that Israel might be gathered to him;
for I am honoured in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength –
