Isaiah 49:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp [a]sword: under the shadow of his hand hath he [b]hid me, and made me a chosen shaft, and hid me in his quiver,
3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant [c]Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.
4 And I said, I have [d]labored in vain: I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing; but my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.
