Listen to Me, you ^(C1)islands, And pay attention, you peoples from afar. ^(C2)The LORD called Me from the womb; From the ^(F1)body of My mother He named Me.

He has made My ^(C1)mouth like a sharp sword, In the ^(C2)shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a sharpened ^(C3)arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver.

He said to Me, "^(C1)You are My Servant, Israel, ^(C2)In whom I will show My glory."

But I said, "I have ^(C1)labored in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and futility; Nevertheless, the justice due to Me is with the LORD, And My ^(C2)reward is with My God."

And now says ^(C1)the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that ^(C2)Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am ^(C3)honored in the sight of the LORD, And My God is My ^(C4)strength),

He says, "It is too ^(F1)small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the ^(C1)protected ones of Israel; I will also make You a ^(C2)light ^(F2)of the nations So that My salvation may ^(F3)reach to the ^(C3)end of the earth."
