*
And now the LORD says ,
who formed me from the womb to be his servant ,
to bring Jacob back to him ,
and that Israel might be gathered to him ,
for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD ,
and my God has become my strength --
*
he says : "
It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel ;
I will give you as a light to the nations ,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth ."
*
Thus says the LORD ,
the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One ,
to one deeply despised ,
abhorred by the nations ,
the servant of rulers : "
Kings shall see and arise ;
princes ,
and they shall prostrate themselves ;
because of the LORD ,
who is faithful ,
the Holy One of Israel ,
who has chosen you ."
