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,

(For I am (G)honored in the sight of the Lord,
And My God is My (H)strength),

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.”
