Isaiah 49:1-2 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Listen to me, coastlands;pay attention, peoples far away.The Lord called me before my birth,called my name when I was in my mother’s womb.

2. He made my mouth like a sharp sword,and hid me in the shadow of God’s own hand.He made me a sharpened arrow,and concealed me in God’s quiver,
