Isaiah 49:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 And now says (A)the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that (B)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am (C)honored in the sight of the Lord,
And My God is My (D)strength),
6 He says, “It is too [a]small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the (E)protected ones of Israel;
I will also make You a (F)light [b]of the nations
So that My salvation may [c]reach to the (G)end of the earth.”
7 This is what the Lord, the (H)Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One,
Says to the [d](I)despised One,
To the One abhorred by the nation,
To the Servant of rulers:
“(J)Kings will see and arise,
Princes will also (K)bow down,
Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”

Isaiah 49:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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 honored in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength—
6 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)
7 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)
