“The LORD has called Me from the womb;
From the matrix [inward parts] of My mother
He has made mention of My name…
And He said to me, ‘You are My servant, O Israel,
In whom I will be glorified.’
Then I said, ‘I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for
nothing and in vain;
Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD,
And my work with my God.'” ~Isaiah 49:1,3
