Isaiah 49:1-13

Listen
<08085> (8798)_,
O isles
<0339>_,
unto me; and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
ye people
<03816>_,
from far
<07350>_;
The LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (8804)
me from the womb
<0990>_;
from the bowels
<04578>
of my mother
<0517>
hath he made mention
<02142> (8689)
of my name
<08034>_.
And he hath made
<07760> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>
like a sharp
<02299>
sword
<02719>_;
in the shadow
<06738>
of his hand
<03027>
hath he hid
<02244> (8689)
me, and made
<07760> (8799)
me a polished
<01305> (8803)
shaft
<02671>_;
in his quiver
<0827>
hath he hid
<05641> (8689)
me;
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
in whom I will be glorified
<06286> (8691)_.
Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I have laboured
<03021> (8804)
in vain
<07385>_,
I have spent
<03615> (8765)
my strength
<03581>
for nought
<08414>_,
and in vain
<01892>_:
[yet] surely
<0403>
my judgment
<04941>
[is] with the LORD
<03068>_,
and my work
<06468>
with my God
<0430>_.
{my work: or, my reward}
And now, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that formed
<03335> (8802)
me from the womb
<0990>
[to be] his servant
<05650>_,
to bring
<07725> (0)
Jacob
<03290>
again
<07725> (8788)
to him, Though Israel
<03478>
be not gathered
<0622> (8735)_,
yet shall I be glorious
<03513> (8735)
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and my God
<0430>
shall be my strength
<05797>_.
{Though...: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)
that thou shouldest be my servant
<05650>
to raise up
<06965> (8687)
the tribes
<07626>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
the preserved
<05341> (8803) (8675) <05336>
of Israel
<03478>_:
I will also give
<05414> (8804)
thee for a light
<0216>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_,
that thou mayest be my salvation
<03444>
unto the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{It is...: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
[and] his Holy One
<06918>_,
to him whom man
<05315>
despiseth
<0960>_,
to him whom the nation
<01471>
abhorreth
<08581> (8764)_,
to a servant
<05650>
of rulers
<04910> (8802)_,
Kings
<04428>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
and arise
<06965> (8804)_,
princes
<08269>
also shall worship
<07812> (8691)_,
because of the LORD
<03068>
that is faithful
<0539> (8737)_,
[and] the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and he shall choose
<0977> (8799)
thee. {whom man...: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
In an acceptable
<07522>
time
<06256>
have I heard
<06030> (8804)
thee, and in a day
<03117>
of salvation
<03444>
have I helped
<05826> (8804)
thee: and I will preserve
<05341> (8799)
thee, and give
<05414> (8799)
thee for a covenant
<01285>
of the people
<05971>_,
to establish
<06965> (8687)
the earth
<0776>_,
to cause to inherit
<05157> (8687)
the desolate
<08074> (8802)
heritages
<05159>_;
{establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest say
<0559> (8800)
to the prisoners
<0631> (8803)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)_;
to them that [are] in darkness
<02822>_,
Shew
<01540> (8734)
yourselves. They shall feed
<07462> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>_,
and their pastures
<04830>
[shall be] in all high places
<08205>_.
They shall not hunger
<07456> (8799)
nor thirst
<06770> (8799)_;
neither shall the heat
<08273>
nor sun
<08121>
smite
<05221> (8686)
them: for he that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)
on them shall lead
<05090> (8762)
them, even by the springs
<04002>
of water
<04325>
shall he guide
<05095> (8762)
them.
And I will make
<07760> (8804)
all my mountains
<02022>
a way
<01870>_,
and my highways
<04546>
shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)_.
Behold, these shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<07350>_:
and, lo, these from the north
<06828>
and from the west
<03220>_;
and these from the land
<0776>
of Sinim
<05515>_.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O heavens
<08064>_;
and be joyful
<01523> (8798)_,
O earth
<0776>_;
and break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
O mountains
<02022>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath comforted
<05162> (8765)
his people
<05971>_,
and will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon his afflicted
<06041>_.
