Isaiah 49:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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,(A)
to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”(B)
7 This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(C) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](D)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes[b] will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(E)—and He has chosen you.”(F)
8 This is what the Lord says:
I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.(G)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,(H)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,

6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(A)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(B)
I will also make you a light(C) for the Gentiles,(D)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(E)
7 This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(F)—
to him who was despised(G) and abhorred by the nation,

princes will see and bow down,(I)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(J)
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(K) you.”
