Isaiah 49:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ But I myself said: I have laboured in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and futility;
yet my vindication is with the Lord,
and my reward is with my God.
⁵ And now, says the Lord,
who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him
so that Israel might be gathered to him;
for I am honoured in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is my strength –
⁶ he says,
‘It is not enough for you to be my servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,^(A)
to be my salvation to the ends of the earth.’^(B)
