| 3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܒܟ ܡܫܬܒܚ ܐܢܐ | 3 And he said to me: Thou art my servant Israel, for in thee will I glory. |

Behold, I have given thee to be the light of the Gentiles, that thou mayst be my salvation even to the farthest part of the earth. |

| 9 ܘܬܐܡܪ ܠܐܣܝܪ̈ܐ ܕܦܘܩܘ ܘܠܚܒܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܬܓܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܢܪܥܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܒܝܠܐ ܡܪ̈ܥܝܬܗܘܢ | 9 That thou mightest say to them that are bound: Come forth: and to them that are in darkness: Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in every plain. |
| 10 ܠܐ ܢܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܨܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܘܒܐ ܘܫܡܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܚܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܡܒ̈ܘܥܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܢܝܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ | 10 They shall not hunger, nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them: for he that is merciful to them, shall be their shepherd, and at the fountains of waters he shall give them drink. |
| 11 ܐܥܒܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܘܫ̈ܒܝܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ | 11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my paths shall be exalted. |

| 14 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܕܫܒܩܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܛܥܢܝ | 14 And Sion said: The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me. |

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be confounded that wait for him. |
| 24 ܠܡܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܐ ܕܒܪܬܗ ܕܓܢܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܫܒܝܬܗ ܕܥܫܝܢܐ ܡܬܦܨܝܐ | 24 Shall the prey be taken from the strong? or can that which was taken by the mighty be delivered? |
