إِشَعْيَاءَ 41:9

ٱلَّذِي أَمْسَكْتُهُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ أَقْطَارِهَا دَعَوْتُهُ، وَقُلْتُ لَكَ: أَنْتَ عَبْدِيَ. ٱخْتَرْتُكَ وَلَمْ أَرْفُضْكَ.

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.
