Isaiah 49:5-6

The Servant of the Lord

5 r And now the Lord says,
he m who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him -
for s I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength -
6 he says:
"It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
t I will make you u as a light for the nations,
that v my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
