JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, 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 He hath made me a polished shaft, in His quiver hath He concealed me; ³ And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'
