41:8 “You, my servant Israel,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
offspring of Abraham my friend,
41:9 you whom I am bringing back
and have summoned from the remote regions –
I told you, “You are my servant.”
I have chosen you and not rejected you.
42:18 “Listen, you deaf ones!
Take notice,
42:19 My servant is truly blind,
my messenger is truly deaf.
My covenant partner,
46:3 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,
all you who are left from the family of Israel,
you who have been carried from birth,
you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.
49:1 Listen to me, you coastlands!
Pay attention, you people who live far away!
The Lord summoned me from birth;
he commissioned me when my mother brought me into the world.
