Isaiah 49:6-8
New King James Version
6 Indeed He says,
‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a (A)light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
7 Thus says the Lord,
The Redeemer of Israel, [a]their Holy One,
(B)To Him [b]whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
(C)“Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You.”
8 Thus says the Lord:
“In an (D)acceptable[c] time I have heard You,
And in the day of salvation I have helped You;
I will [d]preserve You (E)and give You
As a covenant to the people,
To restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate [e]heritages;
