Isaiah 49:1-4 Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the ⌊body⌋* of my mother he made my name known.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the _⌊body_⌋* of my mother he made my name known. ² And he _⌊made_⌋* my mouth like a sharp sword; he hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he _⌊made_⌋* me like an sharpened arrow; he hid me in his quiver. ³ And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will show my glory." ⁴ But* I myself said, "I have labored in* vain; I have used up my strength for nothing and vanity! Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh, and my reward is with my God."
