* 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 . * And now , saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant , to bring # Jacob again to him , Though Israel be not gathered , yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD , and my God shall be my strength . * And he said , It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob Ya #aqob #, and to restore the preserved (8675 ) of Israel Yisra #el #: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles , that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth . * Thus saith the LORD , the Redeemer of Israel Yisra #el #, and his Holy One , to him whom man despiseth , to him whom the nation abhorreth , to a servant of rulers , Kings shall see and arise , princes also shall worship , because of the LORD that is faithful , and the Holy One of Israel Yisra #el #, and he shall choose thee . * Thus saith the LORD , In an acceptable time have I heard thee , and in a day of salvation have I helped thee : and I will preserve thee , and give thee for a covenant of the people , to establish the earth , to cause to inherit the desolate heritages ;
