The Servant, the Light to the Gentiles

49"Listen, O coastlands, to Me, And take heed, you peoples from afar! The LORD has called Me from the womb; From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.H8085H339H7181H3816H7350H3068H7121H990H4578H517H2142H8034 2And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me."H7760H6310H2299H2719H6738H3027H2244H7760H1305H2671H827H5641 3"And He said to me, 'You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.'H559H5650H3478H6286 4Then I said, 'I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD, And my work with my God.'"H559H3021H7385H3615H3581H8414H1892H403H4941H3068H6468H430 5"And now the LORD says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, And My God shall be My strength),H559H3068H3335H990H5650H7725H3290H7725H3478H622H3513H5869H3068H430H5797 6Indeed He says, 'It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.'"H559H7043H5650H6965H7626H3290H7725H5341H5336H3478H5414H216H1471H3444H7097H776 7Thus says the LORD, The Redeemer of Israel, their Holy One, To Him whom man despises, To Him whom the nation abhors, To the Servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise, Princes also shall worship, Because of the LORD who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel; And He has chosen You."H559H3068H1350H3478H6918H5315H960H1471H8581H5650H4910H4428H7200H6965H8269H7812H3068H539H6918H3478H977 8Thus says the LORD: "In an acceptable time I have heard You, And in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You As a covenant to the people, To restore the earth, To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages;H559H3068H7522H6256H6030H3117H3444H5826H5341H5414H1285H5971H6965H776H5157H8074H5159 9That You may say to the prisoners, 'Go forth,' To those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed along the roads, And their pastures shall be on all desolate heights.H559H631H3318H2822H1540H7462H1870H4830H8205 10They shall neither hunger nor thirst, Neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them.H7456H6770H8273H8121H5221H7355H5090H4002H4325H5095 11I will make each of My mountains a road, And My highways shall be elevated.H7760H2022H1870H4546H7311 12Surely these shall come from afar; Look! Those from the north and the west, And these from the land of Sinim."H935H7350H6828H3220H776H5515 13Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, And will have mercy on His afflicted.H7442H8064H1523H776H6476H7440H2022H3068H5162H5971H7355H6041

God Will Remember Zion

14But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me."H6726H559H3068H5800H136H7911 15"Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.H802H7911H5764H7355H1121H990H7911H7911 16See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.H2710H3709H2346H8548 17Your sons shall make haste; Your destroyers and those who laid you waste Shall go away from you.H1121H4116H2040H2717H3318 18Lift up your eyes, look around and see; All these gather together and come to you. As I live," says the LORD, "You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament, And bind them on you as a bride does.H5375H5869H5439H7200H6908H935H2416H5002H3068H3847H5716H7194H3618 19"For your waste and desolate places, And the land of your destruction, Will even now be too small for the inhabitants; And those who swallowed you up will be far away.H2723H8074H776H2035H3334H3427H1104H7368 20The children you will have, After you have lost the others, Will say again in your ears, 'The place is too small for me; Give me a place where I may dwell.'H1121H7923H559H241H4725H6862H5066H4725H3427 21Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has begotten these for me, Since I have lost my children and am desolate, A captive, and wandering to and fro? And who has brought these up? There I was, left alone; But these, where were they?'"H559H3824H3205H7921H1565H1540H5493H1431H7604H375 22Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And set up My standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;H559H136H3069H5375H3027H1471H7311H5251H5971H935H1121H2684H1323H5375H3802 23Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD, For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me."H4428H539H8282H3243H7812H639H776H3897H6083H7272H3045H3068H954H6960 24Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered?H4455H3947H1368H6662H7628H4422 25But thus says the LORD: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.H559H3068H7628H1368H3947H4455H6184H4422H7378H3401H3467H1121 26I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the LORD, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."H398H3238H1320H7937H1818H6071H1320H3045H3068H3467H1350H46H3290
