Ang mga Gawain ng Lingkod ng Dios

49 Makinig kayo sa akin, kayong mga naninirahan sa malalayong lugar:[a] Hindi pa man ako isinilang, tinawag na ako ng Panginoon para maglingkod sa kanya. Ginawa niyang kasintalim ng espada ang mga salita ko. Iningatan niya ako sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Ginawa niya akong parang makinang na pana na handa nang itudla.

49 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
