Isaiah 49:3-5
International Standard Version
3 He said to me: ‘You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will glorify myself.’
4 “I[a] said: ‘I’ve labored for nothing.
I’ve exhausted my strength on futility and on[b] emptiness.’
Yet surely my recompense is with the Lord,
and my reward is with my God.
5 “And now, says the Lord,
who formed you[c] from the womb as his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
so that Israel might be gathered[d] to him—
and I am honored in the Lord’s sight
and my God has been my help[e]—
