And now says ^(j)the Lord , who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that ^(k)Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am ^(l)honored in the sight of the Lord , And My God is My ^(m)strength),

He says, "It is too ^[d]small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the ⁽ⁿ⁾preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a ^(o)light ^[e]of the nations So that My salvation may ^[f]reach to the ^(p)end of the earth."

Thus says the Lord ^[l] God , "Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations And set up My ^(be)standard to the peoples; And they will ^(bf)bring your sons in their bosom, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

"^(bg)Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will ^(bh)bow down to you with their faces to the earth And ^(bi)lick the dust of your feet; And you will ^(bj)know that I am the Lord ; Those who hopefully ^(bk)wait for Me will ^(bl)not be put to shame.
