Isaiah 49 describes God “responding” to the servant's actions. The Greek Septuagint translation changes this to describe God “listening,” which may have been changed to avoid saying that God reacts to others or depends on others before acting.

Isaiah 49:8

Hebrew Bible
7 This is what the Lord, the Protector of Israel, their Holy One, says to the one who is despised and rejected by nations, a servant of rulers: “Kings will see and rise in respect, princes will bow down, because of the faithful Lord, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.” 8 This is what the Lord says: “At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you; in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people, to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property. 9 You will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out, ’and to those who are in dark dungeons, ‘Emerge.’ They will graze beside the roads; on all the slopes they will find pasture.

LXX Isaiah 49:8

Septuagint
7 Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall see him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you. 8 Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you: and I have given you for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages: 9 saying to those who are in bonds, Go forth; and bidding those who are in darkness show themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths shall be their pasture.

Notes and References

#3638
"... Isaiah 49:8-13 also demonstrates a remarkable consistency in word order, although more pluses are present in this passage. The only deviation in word order is the conjunction δὲ in verse 12, which adds some nuance to the relationship between clauses. This does not contribute to an understanding of how the translator rendered the Hebrew word order since its placement is determined by the Greek. The segmentation of Hebrew words is also consistent. For example, in verse 8, each part of the Hebrew עניתיך וביום is rendered in exact order with a corresponding Greek element: עניתי // ἐπήκουσα; ־ך // σου; ־ו // καὶ; ־ב // ἐν; יום // ἡμέρᾳ. This practice is consistent throughout the passage. While legitimate pluses and minuses are present, it is often difficult to determine whether these are attributable to the translator or are genuine variants. For example, the addition of οὐδὲ in verse 10 may be the result of the translator understanding the ו-conjunctive as a contrasting rather than coordinating conjunction, his contextual insertion of לא from earlier in the verse, or the actual occurrence of לא in his source text at this point. The additions of πᾶσαν in verse 11 and οὗτοι in verse 12 are likely the translator’s attempt to harmonize the parallelism in these verses by supplying these words from the immediate context ..."
