Isaiah 49:4-6

Amplified Bible

⁴
Then I said, “I have labored in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity (pride, uselessness);
However My justice is with the Lord,
And My reward is with My God.”

⁵
And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him and that Israel might be gathered to Him,
—For I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
And My God is My strength—
⁶
He says, “It is too trivial a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the ^[a]survivors of Israel;
I will also make You a light to the nations
That My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
