Listen, islands, to me.
Listen, you peoples, from afar: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.
He has made my mouth like a sharp sword.
He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand.
He has made me a polished shaft.
He has kept me close in his quiver.
He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
