Listen
to Me,
O islands;
pay attention,
O distant
peoples:
The LORD
called Me
from the womb;
from the body
of My mother
He named Me.
Listen,
O isles,
unto me; and hearken,
ye people,
from far;
The LORD
hath called
me from the womb;
from the bowels
of my mother
hath he made mention
of my name.

He made
My mouth
like a sharp

He hid Me

He made Me
like a polished
arrow;
He hid Me
in His quiver.
And he hath made
my mouth

in the shadow

hath he hid
me, and made
me a polished

in his quiver

He said
to Me,
“You

Israel,
in whom
I will display My glory.”
And said
unto me, Thou [art] my servant,
O Israel,
in whom I will be glorified.

said,
“I have labored
in vain,
I have spent
My strength

yet
My vindication

the LORD,

Then I said,
I have laboured

I have spent

[yet] surely
my judgment

And now
says
the LORD,
who formed Me
from the womb

to bring Jacob

to Him,
that Israel

for I am honored

And now, saith
the LORD

yet shall I be glorious

He says:
“It is not enough
for You to be
My

to raise up
the tribes

I will also make
You a light

And he said,
It is a light thing
that thou shouldest be my servant

the tribes
of Jacob,
and to restore
the preserved
of Israel:
I will also give
thee for a light
to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation
unto the end

Thus saith
the LORD,

to him whom man

to him whom the nation
abhorreth,
to a servant

Kings
