Isaiah 49:5

Now the Lord (Yahweh) says, he who created me as his servant while I was still in my mother's womb,
that I may bring Jacob back so that Israel may be gathered to him.
[In the Hebrew worldview, prophecies have multiple fulfillments. The Jews would be brought back from Babylonian captivity, but the prophecy also has a fulfillment that we see in our time when the Jews are back in the land of Israel. There is also a prophecy here to be brought back from the greatest captivity of them all—sin.]
I want to be honored in the eyes of the Lord, for the Lord is the source of my strength.
[Even if the servant were to be misunderstood, despised, and rejected by the people, he has his honor and strength in the Lord.]
