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.”

Isaiah 49:2-4
New International Version
2 He made my mouth(A) like a sharpened sword,(B)
in the shadow of his hand(C) he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow(D)
and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,(E)
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.(F)”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;(G)
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,(H)
and my reward(I) is with my God.”(J)
