And now, says the
LORD, who formed me from the
womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob
back to Him, in order that Israel might be gathered to HimÉ.
He says ÔIt is too small
a thing that you should be My Servant to
raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will
also make you a light of the nations, so that My salvation may reach to the end of the
earth.Õ
Isaiah 49:5-6
