And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 49 of Isaiah. The second major portrait of the Servant describes a mission that begins in Israel but extends to the nations. The Servant is called from the womb and sent to restore Jacob and be a light to the peoples. Salvation takes on universal scope, and the return of the captives becomes a scene of consolation.

Und nun spricht der HERR, der mich von Mutterleib an zu seinem Knechte bereitet hat, daß ich soll Jakob zu ihm bekehren, auf daß Israel nicht weggerafft werde (darum bin ich dem HERRN herrlich, und mein Gott ist mein Stärke),
Ahora pues, dice Jehová, el que me formó desde el vientre por su siervo, para que convierta a él a Jacob. Bien que Israel no se juntará, con todo, estimado seré en los ojos de Jehová, y el Dios mío será mi fortaleza.
Maintenant, l'Eternel parle, Lui qui m'a formé dès ma naissance Pour être son serviteur, Pour ramener à lui Jacob, Et Israël encore dispersé; Car je suis honoré aux yeux de l'Eternel, Et mon Dieu est ma force.
Ora dunque, avendomi detto il Signore, che mi ha formato infin dal ventre, acciocchè gli sia servitore, che io gli riconduca Giacobbe; benchè Israele non si raccolga, pur sarò glorificato appo il Signore, e l’Iddio mio sarà la mia forza.
E agora diz o SENHOR, que me formou desde o ventre para ser seu servo, para que torne a trazer Jacó; porém Israel não se deixará ajuntar; contudo aos olhos do SENHOR serei glorificado, e o meu Deus será a minha força.
現在耶和華說話,他從我出母胎,就造我作他的僕人, 要使 雅各 歸向他, 使 以色列 聚集在他那裏。 耶和華看我為尊貴, 我的上帝是我的力量。
