* "
Listen ,
O coastlands ,
to Me ,
And take heed ,
you peoples from afar !
The LORD has called Me from the womb ;
From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name .
*
And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword ;
In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me ,
And made Me a polished shaft ;
In His quiver He has hidden Me ."
* "
And He said to me , "
You are My servant ,
O Israel ,
In whom I will be glorified .'
*
Then I said , "
I have labored in vain ,
I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain ;
Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD ,
And my work with my God ."'
* "
And now the LORD says ,
Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant ,
To bring Jacob back to Him ,
So that Israel is gathered to Him (
For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD ,
And My God shall be My strength ),
*
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 light to the Gentiles ,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth ."'
*
Thus says the LORD ,
The Redeemer of Israel ,
their Holy One ,
To Him whom man despises ,
To Him whom the nation abhors ,
To the Servant of rulers : "
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 ."
