Isaiah 49 (kjv)

Listen^H8085, O isles^H339, unto me; and hearken^H7181, ye people^H3816, from far^H7350; The LORD^H3068 hath called^H7121 me from the womb^H990; from the bowels^H4578 of my mother^H517 hath he made mention^H2142 of my name^H8034.²And he hath made^H7760 my mouth^H6310 like a sharp^H2299 sword^H2719; in the shadow^H6738 of his hand^H3027 hath he hid^H2244 me, and made^H7760 me a polished^H1305 shaft^H2671; in his quiver^H827 hath he hid^H5641 me;³And said^H559 unto me, Thou art my servant^H5650, O Israel^H3478, in whom I will be glorified^H6286.⁴Then I said^H559, I have laboured^H3021 in vain^H7385, I have spent^H3615 my strength^H3581 for nought^H8414, and in vain^H1892: yet surely^H403 my judgment^H4941 is with the LORD^H3068, and my work^H6468 with my God^H430.

⁵And now, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 that formed^H3335 me from the womb^H990 to be his servant^H5650, to bring^H7725 Jacob^H3290 again^H7725 to him, Though Israel^H3478 be not gathered^H622, yet shall I be glorious^H3513 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and my God^H430 shall be my strength^H5797.⁶And he said^H559, It is a light thing^H7043 that thou shouldest be my servant^H5650 to raise up^H6965 the tribes^H7626 of Jacob^H3290, and to restore^H7725 the preserved^{H5341 H5336} of Israel^H3478: I will also give^H5414 thee for a light^H216 to the Gentiles^H1471, that thou mayest be my salvation^H3444 unto the end^H7097 of the earth^H776.⁷Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, the Redeemer^H1350 of Israel^H3478, and his Holy One^H6918, to him whom man^H5315 despiseth^H960, to him whom the nation^H1471 abhorreth^H8581, to a servant^H5650 of rulers^H4910, Kings^H4428 shall see^H7200 and arise^H6965, princes^H8269 also shall worship^H7812, because of the LORD^H3068 that is faithful^H539, and the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478, and he shall choose^H977 thee.⁸Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, In an acceptable^H7522 time^H6256 have I heard^H6030 thee, and in a day^H3117 of salvation^H3444 have I helped^H5826 thee: and I will preserve^H5341 thee, and give^H5414 thee for a covenant^H1285 of the people^H5971, to establish^H6965 the earth^H776, to cause to inherit^H5157 the desolate^H8074 heritages^H5159;⁹That thou mayest say^H559 to the prisoners^H631, Go forth^H3318; to them that are in darkness^H2822, Shew^H1540 yourselves. They shall feed^H7462 in the ways^H1870, and their pastures^H4830 shall be in all high places^H8205.¹⁰They shall not hunger^H7456 nor thirst^H6770; neither shall the heat^H8273 nor sun^H8121 smite^H5221 them: for he that hath mercy^H7355 on them shall lead^H5090 them, even by the springs^H4002 of water^H4325 shall he guide^H5095 them.¹¹And I will make^H7760 all my mountains^H2022 a way^H1870, and my highways^H4546 shall be exalted^H7311.¹²Behold, these shall come^H935 from far^H7350: and, lo, these from the north^H6828 and from the west^H3220; and these from the land^H776 of Sinim^H5515.

¹³Sing^H7442, O heavens^H8064; and be joyful^H1523, O earth^H776; and break forth^H6476 into singing^H7440, O mountains^H2022: for the LORD^H3068 hath comforted^H5162 his people^H5971, and will have mercy^H7355 upon his afflicted^H6041.¹⁴But Zion^H6726 said^H559, The LORD^H3068 hath forsaken^H5800 me, and my Lord^H136 hath forgotten^H7911 me.¹⁵Can a woman^H802 forget^H7911 her sucking child^H5764, that she should not have compassion^H7355 on the son^H1121 of her womb^H990? yea, they may forget^H7911, yet will I not forget^H7911 thee.¹⁶Behold, I have graven^H2710 thee upon the palms of my hands^H3709; thy walls^H2346 are continually^H8548 before me.¹⁷Thy children^H1121 shall make haste^H4116; thy destroyers^H2040 and they that made thee waste^H2717 shall go forth^H3318 of thee.

¹⁸Lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 round about^H5439, and behold^H7200: all these gather themselves together^H6908, and come^H935 to thee. As I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, thou shalt surely clothe^H3847 thee with them all, as with an ornament^H5716, and bind^H7194 them on thee, as a bride^H3618 doeth.¹⁹For thy waste^H2723 and thy desolate places^H8074, and the land^H776 of thy destruction^H2035, shall even now be too narrow^H3334 by reason of the inhabitants^H3427, and they that swallowed thee up^H1104 shall be far away^H7368.²⁰The children^H1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost^H7923 the other, shall say^H559 again in thine ears^H241, The place^H4725 is too strait^H6862 for me: give^H5066 place^H4725 to me that I may dwell^H3427.²¹Then shalt thou say^H559 in thine heart^H3824, Who hath begotten^H3205 me these, seeing I have lost my children^H7921, and am desolate^H1565, a captive^H1540, and removing to and fro^H5493? and who hath brought up^H1431 these? Behold, I was left^H7604 alone; these, where^H375 had they been?²²Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, Behold, I will lift up^H5375 mine hand^H3027 to the Gentiles^H1471, and set up^H7311 my standard^H5251 to the people^H5971: and they shall bring^H935 thy sons^H1121 in their arms^H2684, and thy daughters^H1323 shall be carried^H5375 upon their shoulders^H3802.²³And kings^H4428 shall be thy nursing fathers^H539, and their queens^H8282 thy nursing mothers^H3243: they shall bow down^H7812 to thee with their face^H639 toward the earth^H776, and lick up^H3897 the dust^H6083 of thy feet^H7272; and thou shalt know^H3045 that I am the LORD^H3068: for they shall not be ashamed^H954 that wait^H6960 for me.

²⁴Shall the prey^H4455 be taken^H3947 from the mighty^H1368, or the lawful^H6662 captive^H7628 delivered^H4422?²⁵But thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, Even the captives^H7628 of the mighty^H1368 shall be taken away^H3947, and the prey^H4455 of the terrible^H6184 shall be delivered^H4422: for I will contend^H7378 with him that contendeth^H3401 with thee, and I will save^H3467 thy children^H1121.²⁶And I will feed^H398 them that oppress^H3238 thee with their own flesh^H1320; and they shall be drunken^H7937 with their own blood^H1818, as with sweet wine^H6071: and all flesh^H1320 shall know^H3045 that I the LORD^H3068 am thy Saviour^H3467 and thy Redeemer^H1350, the mighty One^H46 of Jacob^H3290.
