²⁵ “I, I am he
    ^(A)who blots out ^(B)your transgressions for my own sake,
    and I will not remember your sins.

^5 (A)And now the Lord says,
    he ^(B)who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
    and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for ^(C)I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
    and my God has become my strength—
⁶ he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
    to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
^(D)I will make you ^(E)as a light for the nations,
    that ^(F)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

²² Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
    ^(A)and raise my signal to the peoples;
^(B)and they shall bring your sons in their arms,^[a]
    and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
^23 (C)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
    and their queens your nursing mothers.
^(D)With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
    and ^(E)lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
    ^(F)those who wait for me ^(G)shall not be put to shame.”
