The Servant

[Isaiah 49:1-2]

"Listen, o coastlands, to me, and take heed you peoples from afar!

The Lord has called me from the womb;

From the matrix of my mother he has made mention of my name.

And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword;

In the shadow of his hand he has hidden me, and made me a polished shaft;

In his quiver he has hidden me."
