📚 Historical Context

This comes from one of Isaiah's 'Servant Songs,' where God speaks about his faithful servant who will suffer but ultimately triumph. The servant being referenced is understood by many to be the Messiah. Isaiah was writing to encourage the people of Israel during a time when they faced exile and seemed to have lost God's favor.
