Yeshayahu (Isaiah) — Perek 49

The Servant appointed as a light to the nations, Hashem's eternal love for Tzion engraved on His palms, and the miraculous return of children.

The Servant of Hashem is called from the womb to restore the tribes of Yaakov and be a light to the nations to bring salvation to the ends of the earth. When Tzion despairs that Hashem has forsaken her, Hashem responds that a mother could sooner forget her nursing child than He could forget Tzion, whose walls are engraved upon His palms. Nations will carry Tzion's returning children on their shoulders, and kings will serve as foster fathers.

• The Servant called from the womb as a polished arrow for Hashem
• Appointed to restore Israel and serve as a light to all nations
• Tzion reassured: Hashem will never forget her, engraved on His palms
• Nations carrying the returning sons and daughters of Tzion on their shoulders
• Mighty captors vanquished and all humanity knowing Hashem is the Savior
