Isaiah 49:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible

3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant [a]Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.

4 And I said, I have [b]labored in vain: I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing; but my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.

5 And now saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I may bring Jacob again to him (though Israel be not gathered, [c]yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord; and my God shall be my strength.)
