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 honored in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength—
He says,
“It is not enough for you to be My Servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,(A)
to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”(B)
This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(C) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](D)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes[b] will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(E)—and He has chosen you.”(F)

“And now, says the Lord,
    who formed you[a] from the womb as his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
    so that Israel might be gathered[b] to him—
and I am honored in the Lord’s sight
    and my God has been my help[c]
he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant,
    to raise up the tribes of Israel[d]
        and bring back those of Jacob[e] I have preserved.
I’ll also make you as a light to the nations,
    to be my salvation to the ends[f] of the earth.

“This is what my Lord[g] says—
    the Lord your Redeemer, O Israel,[h]
        and his Holy One—
to one despised by people,[i]
    to those abhorred[j] as a nation,
        to the servant of rulers:

“Kings see[k] and arise,
    and princes[l] will bow down,
because of the Lord who is faithful,
    the Holy One of Israel,
        the one who has[m] chosen you.”
