Isaiah 49:6 in context

  1. 4But I said, “I have labored in vain.
    I have spent my strength in vain for nothing;
    yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh,
    and my reward with my God.”
  2. 5Now Yahweh, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
    says to bring Jacob again to him,
    and to gather Israel to him,
    for I am honorable in Yahweh’s eyes,
    and my God has become my strength.
  3. 6Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
    and to restore the preserved of Israel.
    I will also give you as a light to the nations,
    that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
  4. 7Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
    says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers:
    “Kings shall see and rise up,
    princes, and they shall worship,
    because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
  5. 8Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time.
    I have helped you in a day of salvation.
    I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people,
    to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,
