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

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