Isaiah 49:1-2
Easy-to-Read Version
God Calls His Special Servant
49 Hear me, people by the sea.
Listen to me, you faraway nations.
The Lord called me before I was born.
He called my name while I was still in my mother’s womb.
2 He used me to speak for him.
He used me like a sharp sword,
but he also held me in his hand to protect me.
He used me like a sharp arrow,
but he also kept me safe in his arrow bag.

Before I was born(C) the Lord called(D) me;
from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.(E)

in the shadow of his hand(H) he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow(I)
and concealed me in his quiver.
