Isaiah 50:4-7

4The sovereign Lord has given me the capacity to be his spokesman, so that I know how to help the weary. He wakes me up every morning; he makes me alert so I can listen attentively as disciples do.

5The sovereign Lord has spoken to me clearly; I have not rebelled, I have not turned back.

6I offered my back to those who attacked, my jaws to those who tore out my beard; I did not hide my face from insults and spitting.

7But the sovereign Lord helps me, so I am not humiliated. For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; I know I will not be put to shame.
