Isaiah 49:3-6

English Standard Version

^5 (C)And now the Lord says,
    he ^(D)who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
    and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for ^(E)I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
    and my God has become my strength—
⁶ he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
    to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
^(F)I will make you ^(G)as a light for the nations,
    that ^(H)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
