Isaiah 49:7

KJV

Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Study Note

The fourth Servant Song context — the servant who is 'deeply despised, abhorred by the nation, the servant of rulers' — sets this verse's dramatic reversal: kings will see and arise, princes will prostrate themselves. The 'Holy One of Israel' title for YHWH appears thirty-one times in Isaiah and almost nowhere else in the Old Testament, making it a characteristic Isaianic emphasis on divine holiness and transcendence. The gap between the servant's present contempt and future universal homage structures the hermeneutic of suffering and exaltation that Paul applies to Christ in Philippians 2:6-11. The verse challenges any theology that equates divine favor with present prosperity, insisting that the despised can be precisely those through whom God's purposes advance.

Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

YLT

Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

BBE

The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.
