Isaiah 49:6

49:6 he says, “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant,

to reestablish the tribes of Jacob,

and restore the remnant14 of Israel?15

I will make you a light to the nations,16

so you can bring17 my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth.”

14	tn Heb “the protected [or “preserved”] ones.”
15	sn The question is purely rhetorical; it does not imply that the servant was dissatisfied with his commission or that he minimized the restoration of Israel.
16	tn See the note at 42:6.
17	tn Heb “be” (so KJV, ASV); CEV “you must take.”
