“The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.”
The opening of the third Servant Song—'The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens—wakens my ear to listen like those who are taught'—presents a servant whose calling involves teaching and prophecy. The emphasis on morning awakening suggests constant renewal and attentiveness to God. The focus on sustaining the weary suggests compassion toward those exhausted by suffering. This verse emphasizes that the servant's power lies in God-given words rather than physical might.
