Isaiah 49:3-7
Christian Standard Bible
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,(A)
Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
4 But I myself said: I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and futility;
yet my vindication 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
so that Israel might be gathered to him;
for I am honored in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength—
6 he says,
“It is not enough for you to be my servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,(B)
to be my salvation to the ends of the earth.”(C)
7 This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(D) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](E)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see, princes will stand up,
and they[b] will all bow down
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(F)—and he has chosen you.”(G)
Isaiah 49:3-7
New International Version
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,(A)
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.(B)”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;(C)
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,(D)
and my reward(E) is with my God.”(F)
5 And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb(G) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel(H) to himself,
for I am[a] honored(I) in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength(J)—
6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(K)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(L)
I will also make you a light(M) for the Gentiles,(N)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(O)
7 This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(P)—
to him who was despised(Q) and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
“Kings(R) will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,(S)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(T)
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(U) you.”
