Isaiah 49:1
Douay-Rheims
Give ear, ye islands, and hearken, ye people from afar. The Lord hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother he hath been mindful of my name.
George Leo Haydock
Give. This fresh discourse continues to chap. lvi. 9., relating to the Messias, who is introduced speaking to all the world, Acts xiii. 47., and 2 Corinthians vi. 2. Some apply a part to Cyrus, Isaias, or John the Baptist, as to his figures. (Calmet) — The prophet has foretold the conversion of the Gentiles, as he now does, like an evangelist. (St. Jerome) — Many Jews will embrace the gospel at the end of time. (Worthington)
