Listen,
O
isles,
unto
me;
and
hearken,
ye
people,
from
far;
The
LORD
hath
called
me
from
the
womb;
from
the
bowels
of
my
mother
hath
he
made
mention
of
my
name.
2
And
he
hath
made
my
mouth
like
a
sharp
sword;
in
the
shadow
of
his
hand
hath
he
hid
me,
and
made
me
a
polished
shaft;
in
his
quiver
hath
he
hid
3
And
said
unto
me,
Thou
[art]
my
servant,
O
Israel,
in
whom
I
will
be
glorified.
4
Then
I
said,
I
have
laboured
in
vain,
I
have
spent
my
strength
for
nought,
and
in
vain:
[yet]
surely
my
judgment
[is]
with
the
LORD,
and
my
work
with
my
God.
5
And
now,
saith
the
LORD
that
formed
me
from
the
womb
[to
be]
his
servant,
to
bring
Jacob
again
to
him,
Though
Israel
be
not
gathered,
yet
shall
I
be
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
the
LORD,
and
my
God
shall
be
my
strength.
6
And
he
said,
It
is
a
light
thing
that
thou
shouldest
be
my
servant
to
raise
up
the
tribes
of
Jacob,
and
to
restore
the
preserved
of
Israel:
I
will
also
give
thee
for
a
light
to
the
Gentiles,
that
thou
mayest
be
my
salvation
unto
the
end
of
the
earth.
7
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
Redeemer
of
Israel,
[and]
his
Holy
One,
to
him
whom
man
despiseth,
to
him
whom
the
nation
abhorreth,
to
a
servant
of
rulers,
Kings
shall
see
and
arise,
princes
also
shall
worship,
because
of
the
LORD
that
is
faithful,
[and]
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
and
he
shall
choose
thee.
8
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
In
an
acceptable
time
have
I
heard
thee,
and
in
a
day
of
salvation
have
I
helped
thee:
and
I
will
preserve
thee,
and
give
thee
for
a
covenant
of
the
people,
to
establish
the
earth,
to
cause
to
inherit
the
desolate
heritages;
9
That
thou
mayest
say
to
the
prisoners,
Go
forth;
to
them
that
[are]
in
darkness,
Shew
yourselves.
They
shall
feed
in
the
ways,
and
their
pastures
[shall
be]
in
all
high
places.
10
They
shall
not
hunger
nor
thirst;
neither
shall
the
heat
nor
sun
smite
them:
for
he
that
hath
mercy
on
them
shall
lead
them,
even
by
the
springs
of
water
shall
he
guide
them.
11
And
I
will
make
all
my
mountains
a
way,
and
my
highways
shall
be
exalted.
12
Behold,
these
shall
come
from
far:
and,
lo,
these
from
the
north
and
from
the
west;
and
these
from
the
land
of
Sinim.
13
Sing,
O
heavens;
and
be
joyful,
O
earth;
and
break
forth
into
singing,
O
mountains:
for
the
LORD
hath
comforted
his
people,
and
will
have
mercy
upon
his
afflicted.
14
But
Zion
said,
The
LORD
hath
forsaken
me,
and
my
Lord
hath
forgotten
15
Can
a
woman
forget
her
sucking
child,
that
she
should
not
have
compassion
on
the
son
of
her
womb?
yea,
they
may
forget,
yet
will
I
not
forget
thee.
16
Behold,
I
have
graven
thee
upon
the
palms
of
[my]
hands;
thy
walls
[are]
continually
before
17
Thy
children
shall
make
haste;
thy
destroyers
and
they
that
made
thee
waste
shall
go
forth
of
thee.
18
Lift
up
thine
eyes
round
about,
and
behold:
all
these
gather
themselves
together,
[and]
come
to
thee.
[As]
I
live,
saith
the
LORD,
thou
shalt
surely
clothe
thee
with
them
all,
as
with
an
ornament,
and
bind
them
[on
thee],
as
a
bride
[doeth].
19
For
thy
waste
and
thy
desolate
places,
and
the
land
of
thy
destruction,
shall
even
now
be
too
narrow
by
reason
of
the
inhabitants,
and
they
that
swallowed
thee
up
shall
be
far
away.
20
The
children
which
thou
shalt
have,
after
thou
hast
lost
the
other,
shall
say
again
in
thine
ears,
The
place
[is]
too
strait
for
me:
give
place
to
me
that
I
may
dwell.
21
Then
shalt
thou
say
in
thine
heart,
Who
hath
begotten
me
these,
seeing
I
have
lost
my
children,
and
am
desolate,
a
captive,
and
removing
to
and
fro?
and
who
hath
brought
up
these?
Behold,
I
was
left
alone;
these,
where
[had]
they
[been]?
22
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD,
Behold,
I
will
lift
up
mine
hand
to
the
Gentiles,
and
set
up
my
standard
to
the
people:
and
they
shall
bring
thy
sons
in
[their]
arms,
and
thy
daughters
shall
be
carried
upon
[their]
shoulders.
23
And
kings
shall
be
thy
nursing
fathers,
and
their
queens
thy
nursing
mothers:
they
shall
bow
down
to
thee
with
[their]
face
toward
the
earth,
and
lick
up
the
dust
of
thy
feet;
and
thou
shalt
know
that
I
[am]
the
LORD:
for
they
shall
not
be
ashamed
that
wait
for
24
Shall
the
prey
be
taken
from
the
mighty,
or
the
lawful
captive
delivered?
25
But
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Even
the
captives
of
the
mighty
shall
be
taken
away,
and
the
prey
of
the
terrible
shall
be
delivered:
for
I
will
contend
with
him
that
contendeth
with
thee,
and
I
will
save
thy
children.
26
And
I
will
feed
them
that
oppress
thee
with
their
own
flesh;
and
they
shall
be
drunken
with
their
own
blood,
as
with
sweet
wine:
and
all
flesh
shall
know
that
I
the
LORD
[am]
thy
Saviour
and
thy
Redeemer,
the
mighty
One
of
Jacob.
