Bible Comments

But thou, Israel, art my servant: thus the Gentiles show themselves to be the servants of their idols, and own them for their god; but thou art my people, and I am and will be thy God. Whom I have chosen, out of the heap of the idolatrous nations, to be my peculiar people. Abraham my friend; with whom I made a strict league of perpetual friendship; of which see Genesis 12:2,3 Genesis 15:1,18.

Isaiah 41:8

8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
