Isaiah 49:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ And He saith to me, `My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'

⁴ And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.

⁵ And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been my strength.)
