8  But you, Israel, ^ymy servant,

Jacob, ^zwhom I have chosen,

the offspring of Abraham, ^amy friend;

9  you whom I took from the ends of the earth,

and called ^bfrom its farthest corners,

saying to you, “You are ^ymy servant,

^zI have chosen you and not cast you off”;

19  Who is blind but my servant,

or deaf as my messenger whom I send?

Who is blind as my dedicated one,¹

or blind as the servant of the Lord?

10  ^z“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,

“and ^amy servant whom I have chosen,

that you may know and believe me

and understand that I am he.

^bBefore me no god was formed,

nor shall there be any after me.

44  “But now hear, ^bO Jacob my servant,

Israel whom I have chosen!

2  Thus says the Lord who made you,

^cwho formed you from the womb and will help you:

^dFear not, O Jacob my servant,

^eJeshurun whom I have chosen.

21  Remember these things, O Jacob,

and Israel, for you are ^ymy servant;

I formed you; you are my servant;

^zO Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

26  ^jwho confirms the word of his servant

and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,

who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’

^kand of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,

and I will raise up their ruins’;

4  For the sake of my servant Jacob,

and Israel my chosen,

^vI call you by your name,

^wI name you, though you do not know me.

20  ^dGo out from Babylon, flee from ^eChaldea,

declare this ^fwith a shout of joy, proclaim it,

send it out to the end of the earth;

say, ^g“The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
