Isaiah 49:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 But[a] I myself said, “I have labored in[b] vain;
    I have used up my strength for nothing and vanity!
Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh,
    and my reward is with my God.”
5 And now Yahweh says,
    who formed me from the womb as a servant for him,
to bring Jacob back to him,
    and that Israel might not[c] be gathered,
for[d] I am honored in the eyes of Yahweh,
    and my God has become my strength.

6 And he says, “It is trivial for you to be[e] a servant for me,

to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel.
I will give you as a light to the nations,
    to be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
