Isaiah 49:1-3 The Servant of the Lord
Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother He named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand He hid me; He made me a polished arrow; in his quiver He hid me away. And He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
