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
