Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
You whom I have brought from the farthest places on earth, and called you from among its leaders, and said to you, 'You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I will not reject you.'
God is reminding His people that He personally chose them from across the world and promises never to abandon them.
