Isaiah 49:5-7

New International Version

⁵ And now the Lord says—
    he who formed me in the womb^(A) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
    and gather Israel^(B) to himself,
for I am^[a] honored^(C) in the eyes of the Lord
    and my God has been my strength^(D)—
⁶ he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant^(E)
    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.^(F)
I will also make you a light^(G) for the Gentiles,^(H)
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”^(I)

⁷ This is what the Lord says—
    the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel^(J)—
to him who was despised^(K) and abhorred by the nation,
    to the servant of rulers:
“Kings^(L) will see you and stand up,
    princes will see and bow down,^(M)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,^(N)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen^(O) you.”
