• 49:3And He said to me, You are My servant, / Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Compare

• 49:6He says, It is too small a thing that You would be My Servant / To raise up the tribes of Jacob / And bring back the preserved of Israel; / I will also set You as a light of the nations / That You may be My salvation unto the ends of the earth. Compare
• 49:7Thus says Jehovah, / The Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, / To the despised One, the One abhorred by the nation, / The One subjected to tyrants, / Kings will see and arise, / And princes will bow down; / Because of Jehovah, who is faithful, / The Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You. Compare

• 49:12Indeed, these will come from a distance, / And indeed these will come from the north and the west, / And these from the land of the Sinim. Compare
• 49:13Give a ringing shout, O heavens, and exult, O earth, / And break forth into shouting, O mountains; / For Jehovah has comforted His people / And will have compassion on His afflicted ones. Compare
• 49:14But Zion has said, Jehovah has forsaken me, / And the Lord has forgotten me. Compare
• 49:15Can a woman forget her nursing child, / That she would not have compassion on the son of her womb? / Even though they may forget, / Yet I will not forget you. Compare

• 49:24Can the booty be taken from the strong man, / Or the lawful captives be delivered? Compare
• 49:25Surely, thus says Jehovah, / Even the captive may be taken from the strong man, / And the booty may be released from the tyrant; / For I will strive with those who strive with you, / And I will save your children; Compare
• 49:26And I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; / And they will be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; / Then all flesh will know / That I am Jehovah your Savior / And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Compare
