The four songs of the servant, also known as the servant poems or the Songs of the Suffering Servant, are distinct passages found within the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible. These significant poetic sections describe a figure referred to as the "Servant" of the Lord, whose identity and mission are central to their theological interpretation.
These four songs are precisely located in the following chapters and verses of Isaiah:
| Servant Song Number | Location in Isaiah |
|---|---|
| First Servant Song | Isaiah 42:1–4 |
| Second Servant Song | Isaiah 49:1–6 |
| Third Servant Song | Isaiah 50:4–11 |
| Fourth Servant Song | Isaiah 52:13–53:12 |
Each song contributes to the overall narrative and characterization of the Servant, presenting different facets of their role, suffering, and ultimate vindication. They are a crucial part of prophetic literature, offering profound insights into themes of divine purpose, sacrifice, and redemption.
