He said to Me, “(A)You are My Servant, Israel,
(B)In whom I will show My glory.”
But I said, “I have (C)labored in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and futility;
Nevertheless, the justice due to Me is with the Lord,
And My (D)reward is with My God.”

And now says (E)the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that (F)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am (G)honored in the sight of the Lord,
And My God is My (H)strength),
He says, “It is too [a]small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the (I)protected ones of Israel;
I will also make You a (J)light [b]of the nations
So that My salvation may [c]reach to the (K)end of the earth.”

He said to me, “You are my servant,(A)

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)

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)
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)

  1. Isaiah 49:5 Or him, / but Israel would not be gathered; / yet I will be

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.

And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
