Isaiah 50:4-9

New King James Version

⁴ “The^(A) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is ^(B)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
⁵ The Lord God ^(C)has opened My ear;
And I was not ^(D)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
^6 (E)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And ^(F)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and ^(G)spitting.

⁷ “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore ^(H)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
^8 (I)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is ^[a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
⁹ Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
^(J)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
^(K)The moth will eat them up.
