isaiah 49:7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 49:7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] its Holy One, To the despised One, To the One abhorred by the nation, To the Servant of rulers, "Kings shall see and arise, Princes shall also bow down; Because of the LORD who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You."


      7. whom man despiseth--Hebrew, "the despised of soul," that is, by every soul, by all men (Isa 52:14, 15; 53:3; 50:6-9; Ps 22:6). LOWTH translates, "whose person is despised."
      abhorreth--literally, "who is an abomination to the nation" (Lu 23:18-23). The Jews contemptuously call Him always Tolvi, "the crucified." I prefer, on account of Goi, the Hebrew term for nation being usually applied to the Gentiles, and that for people to the Jews (Ho 1:9; so the Greek terms respectively also Laos and Ethne, Ro 9:25), to take "nation" here collectively for the Gentile world, which also spurned Him (Ps 2:1-3; Ac 4:25-27).
      servant of rulers-- (Mt 17:27). He who would not exert His power against the rulers (Mt 26:52, 53).
      shall see--namely the fulfilment of God's promises (Isa 49:3, 6), "when He (shall be) a light to the Gentiles."
      arise--to reverence Thee (Ps 72:10, 11; Php 2:10).
      princes also--rather, for the parallelism, supply the ellipsis, thus, "Princes shall see and shall worship."
      faithful--namely, to His promises.
      choose thee--as God's elect (Isa 42:1).
