Isaiah 49:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² He has made My ^(A)mouth like a sharp sword,
In the ^(B)shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;
And He has also made Me a ^[a]select ^(C)arrow,
He has hidden Me in His quiver.
³ He said to Me, “^(D)You are My Servant, Israel,
^(E)In Whom I will ^[b]show My glory.”
⁴ But I said, “I have ^(F)toiled in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the Lord,
And My ^(G)reward with My God.”
