49:1 Yahweh’s servant
The second servant song
49 Listen to me you islands,[ref]
≈ and pay attention you distant peoples.
Yahweh called me from before I was born—
≈ he knew my name when I was still inside my mother.
2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword that he hid in the shadow of his hand.[ref]
≈ He made me into a polished arrow that he hid in his quiver.
3 Then he told me, ‘Yisrael, you’re my servant,
and I’ll be honoured by others because of you.’
4 I replied, ‘I’ve worked with no results
≈ and used my strength for nothing at all.
Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh,
≈ and my wages are with my god.’
the one who formed me from the womb as his servant—
to restore Yakov to himself,
I’ll be honoured in Yahweh’s eyes,
and my god has been my strength.
‘It’s too insignificant for you to be my servant to raise up Yakov’s tribes
≈ and to bring back those from Yisrael who’ve been preserved.
I’ll make you into a light for the nations—
≈ to be the one who takes salvation to the ends of the earth for me.’
7 Yahweh, Yisrael’s holy one,

and princes will bow down
on account of Yahweh who is faithful—Yisrael’s holy one
because he has chosen you.’
Jer 1:5:
5 “Before I formed you in your mother, I already knew you,
≈ and before you came out of the womb, I had a plan for you.
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Heb 4:12:
12 because God’s message is living and active and sharper than any high-quality sword, even penetrating to divide the soul and spirit—like separating the bone from sinews—and able to judge a person’s inner thoughts and intentions.
Rev 1:16:
16 He was holding seven stars in his right hand and a sharp sword was extending from his mouth, and his face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Isa 42:6:
6 I, Yahweh, have called you my servant for a godly purpose,
and I’ll take hold of your hand and watch over you.
I will make you into a promise for the people—a light for the nations:
Luk 2:32:
32 [ref]a light so the non-Jews can understand, and the greatest gift from and for your people of Yisrael.”
Acts 26:23:
23 that the messiah would come and suffer and as the first of the dead to come back to life, he is going to be proclaiming light to both Jews and non-Jews.”
Acts 13:47:
47 Because this is what the master commanded us:
