“But you, Israel, are my servant.You’re Jacob, my first choice,descendants of my good friend Abraham.I pulled you in from all over the world,called you in from every dark corner of the earth,Telling you, ‘You’re my servant, serving on my side.I’ve picked you. I haven’t dropped you.’Don’t panic. I’m with you.There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.
