But I said, “I have (A)toiled in vain;
I have spent My might for [a]nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with Yahweh,
And My (B)reward with My God.”

So now says (C)Yahweh, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To return Jacob back to Him, so that (D)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am (E)glorified in the sight of Yahweh,
And My God is My (F)strength),
He says, “It is too [b]small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to cause the (G)preserved ones of Israel to return;
I will also give You as a (H)light [c]of the nations
So that My salvation may [d]reach to the (I)end of the earth.”
