Isaiah 49:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 ‘As my servant, I have a greater job for you to do.
It will not only be to make Jacob's tribes strong again.
It will not only be to bring back Israel's people that I have kept safe.
It will also be your job
to bring light to the other nations.
You will show people all over the world
that I have the power to save them.’
7 The Lord is Israel's Redeemer, their Holy God. Nations refuse to accept his servant. Their people hate him and their rulers have made him their slave. The Lord says to his servant,
‘Kings will see you and they will rise up to respect you.
Princes will bend down low in front of you.
They will see that the Lord is faithful.
He is Israel's Holy God,
who has chosen you to serve him.’
8 This is what the Lord says:
‘I will answer your prayers
at the time that I have chosen to help you.
Yes, I will come to save you on that day.
I will keep you safe,
so that I can make a covenant with people through you.
You will make the land safe again.
People will return to live there,
in places that had become empty.

6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(A)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(B)
I will also make you a light(C) for the Gentiles,(D)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(E)
7 This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(F)—
to him who was despised(G) and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
“Kings(H) will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,(I)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(J)
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(K) you.”
Restoration of Israel
