Isaiah 50:4-9

4The Almighty Lord will teach me what to say, so I will know how to encourage weary people. Morning after morning he will wake me to listen like a student.

5The Almighty Lord will open my ears. I will not rebel, nor will I turn away ⌞from him⌟.

6I will offer my back to those who whip me and my cheeks to those who pluck hairs out of my beard. I will not turn my face away from those who humiliate me and spit on me.

7The Almighty Lord helps me. That is why I will not be ashamed. I have set my face like a flint. I know that I will not be put to shame.

8The one who pronounces me innocent is near. Who will bring a case against me? Let us confront each other! Who accuses me? Let him confront me!

9The Almighty Lord helps me. Who will find me guilty? They will all wear out like a garment. Moths will eat them.
