Isaiah 50:4-11

4The LordH136 YhwhH3069 hath givenH5414 me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045 how to speakH5790 a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782 mine earH241 to hearH8085 as the learnedH3928.

5The LordH136 YhwhH3069 hath openedH6605 mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784, neither turned awayH5472 backH268. 6I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.

7For the LordH136 YhwhH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954. 8He is nearH7138 that justifiethH6663 me; who will contendH7378 with me? let us standH5975 togetherH3162: who is mine adversaryH4941H1167? let him come nearH5066 to me.1 9Behold, the LordH136 YhwhH3069 will helpH5826 me; who is he that shall condemnH7561 me? lo, they all shall wax oldH1086 as a garmentH899; the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398.

10Who is among you that fearethH3373 YhwhH3068, that obeyethH8085 the voiceH6963 of his servantH5650, that walkethH1980 in darknessH2825, and hath no lightH5051? let him trustH982 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068, and stayH8172 upon his GodH430. 11Behold, all ye that kindleH6919 a fireH784, that compass yourselves aboutH247 with sparksH2131: walkH3212 in the lightH217 of your fireH784, and in the sparksH2131 that ye have kindledH1197. This shall ye have of mine handH3027; ye shall lie downH7901 in sorrowH4620.
