Isaiah 49:1-12

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.

²  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;

³  And said unto me, Thou art my servant,

O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

⁴  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.

⁵  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.

⁶  And he said, ^qIt is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant

To raise up the tribes of Jacob,

And to restore the ^rpreserved of Israel:

I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,

That thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁷  Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, 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, and he shall choose thee.

⁸  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;

⁹  That thou mayest say ^cto the prisoners, Go forth;

To them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves.

They shall feed in the ways,

And their pastures shall be in all high places.

¹⁰  They shall not hunger nor thirst;

Neither shall the heat nor sun smite them:

For he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,

Even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

¹¹  And I will make all my mountains a way,

And my highways shall be exalted.

¹²  Behold, these shall come from far:

And, lo, these from the north and from the west;

And these from the land of Sinim.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Is 49:1–12.
