Isaiah:49:1-4

*
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 he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword ;
in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me ,
and made me a polished shaft ;
in his quiver hath he hid me ;
*
And said unto me ,
Thou art my servant ,
O Israel Yisra #
el #,
in whom I will be glorified .
*
Then I said ,
I have laboured in vain ,
I have spent my strength for nought ,
and in vain :
yet surely my judgment is with the LORD ,
and my work with my God .
