The Lord made me in the body of my mother
    so I would be his servant.
He made me to lead the people of Jacob back to him.
    He made me so that Israel might be gathered to him.
The Lord will honor me.
    I will get my strength from my God.
The Lord told me,
“You are an important servant to me.
    You will bring back the tribes of Jacob.
    You will bring back the people of Israel who are left alive.
But, more importantly, I will make you a light for all nations.
    You will show people all over the world the way to be saved.”

The Lord is your close relative who saves you.
    He is the Holy One of Israel.
He speaks to the one who is hated by the people.
    He speaks to the servant of rulers.
The Lord says, “Kings will see you and stand to honor you.
    Great leaders will bow down before you.
This is because the Lord can be trusted.
    He is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
