Isaiah 49:1-3

Living Bible

49 Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands: The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name. ² God will make my words of judgment sharp as swords. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand; I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.

³ He said to me: “You are my servant, a prince of power^[a] with God, and you shall bring me glory.”
