Isaiah 49:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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 honored 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)
7 This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(C) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](D)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes[b] will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(E)—and He has chosen you.”(F)
