- "Four sections in the book of Isaiah have been designated 'Servant Songs,' for they speak of a Servant who would be instrumental in fulfilling God's plans for Israel. These passages are 42:1-7; 49:1-9; 50:4-11; and 52:13-53:12; in addition, 61:1-3 shows some similarity to the Servant Songs, although the designation 'servant' is not used." (Andrew E. Hill and John H. Walton, A SURVEY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, © 1991 Zondervan, pp. 324-25)
