² See, the Lord has one who is powerful^(A) and strong.
    Like a hailstorm^(B) and a destructive wind,^(C)
like a driving rain and a flooding^(D) downpour,
    he will throw it forcefully to the ground.

³ He said to me, “You are my servant,^(A)
    Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.^(B)”

⁴ But I said, “I have labored in vain;^(A)
    I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,^(B)
    and my reward^(C) is with my God.”^(D)
