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.

Commentary on Isaiah 49:7

Theological / Devotional

Kings shall see. Compare ch. 52:15. Messiah was to come as a “servant” (chs. 49:5; 52:13; see on ch. 41:8), and to be despised by men (chs. 52:14; 53:2, 3), but the hour would come when the most honored men of earth would fall on their knees before Him and do Him homage (see Ps. 72:10, 11; see on Isa. 45:23; 52:13-15; see also pp. 28-30). No man was ever more hated than He, and none more loved. Because He humbled Himself He was given “a name which is above every name,” that before Him “every knee should bow” (Phil. 2:8-10).
