Isaiah 49:1-3 ▼

1 Listen to Me, O islands (coastlands); pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD {YHWH} called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.

2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.

3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel (he wrestles with God), in whom I will display My glory.”
