Isaiah 49:3-6

^{Tools
3}

He said to Me, “^(A)You are My Servant, Israel,
^(B)In Whom I will ^(a)show My glory.”

But I said, “I have ^(C)toiled in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the Lord,
And My ^(D)reward with My God.”

And now says ^(E)the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that ^(F)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am ^(G)honored in the sight of the Lord,
And My God is My ^(H)strength),

^{Tools

He says, “It is too ^(b)small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the ^(I)preserved ones of Israel;
I will also make You a ^(J)light ^(c)of the nations
So that My salvation may ^(d)reach to the ^(K)end of the earth.”
