Isaiah 49:2 ASV

¹  Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name:

²  and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close:

³  and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

⁴  But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely the justice 'due' to me is with Jehovah, and my recompense with my God.
