Read the Story

God's servant said, "Yahweh has called me from the womb." God said, "I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth." In the New Testament, Paul and Barnabas used this verse to explain why they told the Gentiles about Jesus (Acts 13:47).

God promised His people, "They shall not hunger nor thirst." "He will guide them by springs of water." The whole world was called to sing: "Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth!"

Zion felt forgotten. God said, "Can a woman forget her nursing child?" He promised, "yet I will not forget you! Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."
