Isaiah 49:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 But I said, “I have (A)toiled in vain;
I have spent My might for [a]nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with Yahweh,
And My (B)reward with My God.”
5 So now says (C)Yahweh, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To return Jacob back to Him, so that (D)Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am (E)glorified in the sight of Yahweh,
And My God is My (F)strength),
6 He says, “It is too [b]small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to cause the (G)preserved ones of Israel to return;
I will also give You as a (H)light [c]of the nations
So that My salvation may [d]reach to the (I)end of the earth.”

New International Version
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;(A)
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,(B)
and my reward(C) is with my God.”(D)
5 And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb(E) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel(F) to himself,
for I am[a] honored(G) in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength(H)—
6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(I)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(J)
I will also make you a light(K) for the Gentiles,(L)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(M)
