Isaiah 49:2-4
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 49:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 He made my words like a sharp sword.
He hid me in the palm of his hand.
He made me into a sharpened arrow.
He took good care of me and kept me safe.
3 He said to me, “You are my true servant Israel.
I will show my glory through you.”
4 But I said, “In spite of my hard work,
I feel as if I haven’t accomplished anything.
I’ve used up all my strength.
It seems as if everything I’ve done is worthless.
But the Lord will give me what I should receive.
My God will reward me.”
New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
