Isaiah 49:6-8
Tree of Life Version
Isaiah 49:6-8
Tree of Life Version
6 So He says,
“It is too trifling a thing that You should be My servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and restore the preserved ones of Israel.
So I will give You as a light for the nations,
that You should be My salvation to the end of the earth.”[a]
7 Thus says Adonai,
the Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One,
to the One despised,[b] to the One the nation abhors,
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and arise,
princes will also bow down,
because of Adonai who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”
Compassion on Zion’s Children
8 Thus says Adonai:
“In a time of favor I will answer you.
In a day of salvation I will help you.
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
to restore the land,
to make them possess its desolate inheritances,

6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob

that (C)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
(D)the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
(E)to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:

princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

(G)“In a (H)time of favor I have answered you;

(J)to apportion the desolate heritages,

6 he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(A)
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(B)
I will also make you a light(C) for the Gentiles,(D)
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(E)

princes will see and bow down,(I)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(J)
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(K) you.”
