In the second Servant Song the Servant, called from the womb and named Israel, is given a mission that reaches beyond restoring Jacob: “I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” To a Zion that feels forsaken, the LORD answers that a mother may sooner forget her nursing child than He forget His people, whom He has “engraved... on the palms of my hands.”
