Book
Chapter
1Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:Isa 41:1 Isa 42:1-4 Isa 42:12-4 Isa 45:22 Isa 51:5 Isa 60:9 Isa 66:19 Zep 2:11
2and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:Isa 11:4 Ps 45:2-5 Hos 6:5 Heb 4:12 Rev 1:16 Rev 2:12 Rev 19:15
3and he said to me, You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.Isa 42:1 Isa 43:21 Isa 44:23 Isa 52:13 Isa 53:10 Zc 3:8 Mt 17:5 Lk 2:10-14 Jn 12:28 Jn 13:31 Jn 13:32 Jn 15:8 Jn 17:1 Jn 17:4 Eph 1:6 Php 2:6-11 1Pe 2:9
4But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my recompense with my God.Isa 65:2 Ezk 3:19 Mt 17:17 Mt 23:37 Jn 1:11 Ro 10:21 Ga 4:11
5Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength);Isa 56:8 Mt 15:24 Ac 10:36 Ro 15:8
6yes, 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 for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.2Ki 3:18 2Ki 20:10
7Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.Isa 48:7 Rev 3:7
8Thus says Yahweh, In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and 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:Ps 69:13 Jn 11:41 Jn 11:42 2Co 6:2 Eph 1:6 Heb 5:7
