2Dan dia telah menjadikan mulutku seperti pedang tajam; di bayang-bayang tangannya dia telah menyembunyikanku, dan menjadikanku suatu batang yang telah telah digilap; dalam tabung anak panahnya telah dia menyembunyikanku;
3Dan telah berkata kepadaku, Engkaulah hambaku, wahai Israel, yang di dalammu aku akan dimuliakan.
4Kemudian aku berkata, aku telah berjerih lelah dengan sia-sia, aku telah memakai kekuatanku untuk kekosongan, dan dengan sia-sia: namun tentulah penghakimanku adalah bersama TUHAN, dan karyaku dengan Allahku.
5Dan sekarang, firman TUHAN yang telah membentukku dari rahim untuk menjadi hambanya, untuk membawa Yakub semula kepadanya, Walaupun Israel tidak dikumpulkan, namun aku akan mulia di mata TUHAN, dan Allahku akan menjadi kekuatanku.
6Dan dia berfirman, Ia hal yang remeh bahawa kamu dijadikan hambaku untuk membangkitkan suku-suku kaum Yakub, dan untuk memulihkan Israel yang kekal terpelihara: Aku juga akan menyerahkanmu untuk menjadi cahaya kepada orang bukan Yahudi, supaya engkau dapat menjadi keselamatanku sampai ke hujung bumi.

15Dapatkah seorang perempuan melupakan anaknya yang menyusu, sehingga dia tidak akan ada belas kasihan kepada anak rahimnya? ya, mereka mungkin lupa, namun aku tidak akan melupakanmu.
16Lihatlah, aku telah mengukirmu di telapak-telapak tanganku; tembok-tembokmu terus-menerus berada di hadapanku.
17Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
