Kings will see you and stand up, princes will see and bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. Isaiah 49:7

Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away. The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb, he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he held me, he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver, he hid me away. And he said to me, ‘You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.’ Isaiah 49:1-4
