Jacob

But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,

Cush and Seba in your place.

“And now listen, Jacob My servant,
Israel whom I have chosen.

Now if you will listen to Me and carefully keep My covenant, you will be My own possession out of all the peoples, although all the earth is Mine,

At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
