Isaiah 50:4-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Lord’s Servant Trusts in the Lord’s Help
4 The 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.
5 The Almighty Lord will open my ears.
I will not rebel, nor will I turn away ⌞from him⌟.
6 I 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.
7 The 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.
8 The 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!
9 The Almighty Lord helps me.
Who will find me guilty?
They will all wear out like a garment.
Moths will eat them.
