⁵ And now the Lord says—
    he who formed me in the womb^(A) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
    and gather Israel^(B) to himself,
for I am^[a] honored^(C) in the eyes of the Lord
    and my God has been my strength^(D)—

⁷ Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
    without revealing his plan^(A)
    to his servants the prophets.^(B)
