Isaiah 49:1-2

Modern English Version

49 Listen to me, O coastlands,
    and pay attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord called me from the womb;
    from the body of my mother He named me.
² He has made my mouth like a sharp sword;
    in the shadow of His hand He has hidden me
and made me a select arrow;
    in His quiver He has hidden me.
