Context
Ideal Israel Delivers the Exiles
49:1 Listen to me, you coastlands ! Pay attention , you people who live far away ! The Lord summoned me from birth ; he commissioned me when my mother brought me into the world.
49:2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword , he hid me in the hollow of his hand ; he made me like a sharpened arrow , he hid me in his quiver .
49:3 He said to me, “You are my servant , Israel , through whom I will reveal my splendor .”
49:4 But I thought , “I have worked in vain ; I have expended my energy for absolutely nothing .” But the Lord will vindicate me; my God will reward me.
49:5 So now the Lord says , the one who formed me from birth to be his servant – he did this to restore Jacob to himself, so that Israel might be gathered to him; and I will be honored in the Lord’s sight , for my God is my source of strength –
49:6 he says , “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant , to reestablish the tribes of Jacob , and restore the remnant of Israel ? I will make you a light to the nations , so you can bring my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth .”
49:7 This is what the Lord , the protector of Israel , their Holy One , says to the one who is despised and rejected by nations , a servant of rulers : “Kings will see and rise in respect, princes will bow down , because of the faithful Lord , the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.”
49:8 This is what the Lord says : “At the time I decide to show my favor , I will respond to you; in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people , to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property .
49:9 You will say to the prisoners , ‘Come out ,’ and to those who are in dark dungeons , ‘Emerge .’ They will graze beside the roads ; on all the slopes they will find pasture .
49:10 They will not be hungry or thirsty ; the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, for one who has compassion on them will guide them; he will lead them to springs of water .
49:11 I will make all my mountains into a road ; I will construct my roadways .”
49:12 Look , they come from far away! Look , some come from the north and west , and others from the land of Sinim !
49:13 Shout for joy , O sky ! Rejoice , O earth ! Let the mountains give a joyful shout ! For the Lord consoles his people and shows compassion to the oppressed .
