Isaiah 49

49
1Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, you2f people, from far; The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has called me from the womb; from the bowels (inward parts; affections) of my mother has he made mention of my name.
2And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;
3And said unto me, youi [are] my servant, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], in whom I will be glorified.
4Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain: [yet] surely my judgment [is] with the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my work with my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
5And now, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that formed me from the womb [to be] his servant, to bring Ya’akov [Heal of God] again to him, Though Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall be my strength.
6And he said, It is a light thing that youi should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and to restore the preserved of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: I will also give youi for a light to the Gentiles, that youi may be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
7Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the Redeemer of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and he shall choose youi.
8Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), In an acceptable time have I heard youi, and in a day of salvation have I helped youi: and I will preserve youi, and give youi for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9That youi may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that [are] in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures [shall be] in all high places.
10They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim [thorns].
13Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14But Tziyon [parched place] said, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.
15Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget youi.
16Behold, I have graven youi upon the palms of [my] hands; youri walls [are] continually before me.
17Your1s children shall make haste; youri destroyers and they that made youi waste shall go forth of youi.
18Lift up youri eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, [and] come to youi. [As] I live, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi shall surely clothe youi with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them [on youi], as a bride [does].
19For youri waste and youri desolate places, and the land of youri destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed youi up shall be far away.
20The children which youi shall have, after youi have lost the other, shall say again in youri ears, The place [is] too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21Then shall youi say in youri heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where [had] they [been]?
22Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my Flag (banner) to the people: and they shall bring youri sons in [their] arms, and youri daughters shall be carried upon [their] shoulders.
23And kings shall be youri nursing fathers, and their queens youri nursing mothers: they shall bow down to youi with [their] face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of youri feet; and youi shall know that I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25But thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with youi, and I will save youi children.
26And I will feed them that oppress youi with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I [am] Yehovah Moshiekh v’Goalekh [Yeshua (he is Salvation) Pre-Incarnate Your Messiah and Redeemer], the Mighty One [Avir Ya’akov] of Jacob [Heal of God].
