Isaiah 49:4 in Context — Isaiah 49

2 E fez da minha boca como uma espada afiada, com a sombra de sua mão ele me cobriu; e me pôs como uma flecha polida, [e] me guardou em sua aljava.

3 E me disse: Tu és meu servo, Israel, por quem serei glorificado.

4 Porém eu disse: Inutilmente tenho trabalhado; por nada e em vão gastei minhas forças; todavia meu direito está perante o SENHOR, e minha recompensa perante meu Deus.

5 E agora diz o SENHOR, que me formou desde o ventre para si por servo, que trazer Jacó de volta a si; porém Israel não se deixará ajuntar; contudo, nos olhos do SENHOR serei honrado, e meu Deus será minha força.

6 Disse também: É pouco demais que sejas meu servo [apenas] para restaurares as tribos de Jacó e restabeleceres os sobreviventes de Israel; eu também te dei como luz das nações, para seres minha salvação até o limite da terra.
