Isaiah 49:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

² And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.

³ And He saith to me, `My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'

⁴ And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.
