Isaiah 50:4 - 50:9

Lord Yahweh has given Me the tongue of disciples,

That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.

He awakens Me morning by morning;

He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

Lord Yahweh has opened My ear;

And I did not rebel

Nor did I turn back.

I gave My back to those who strike Me,

And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;

I did not hide My face from dishonor and spitting.

Even now Lord Yahweh helps Me,

Therefore, I am not dishonored;

Therefore, I have set My face like flint,

And I know that I will not be ashamed.

He who vindicates Me is near;

Who will contend with Me?

Let us stand up to each other;

Who has a judgment against Me?

Let him approach Me.

Behold, Lord Yahweh helps Me;

Who is he who condemns Me?

Behold, they will all wear out like a garment;

The moth will eat them.
