Isaiah 50:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ I let my enemies beat me on my bare back.
    I let them pull the hair out of my beard.
I didn’t turn my face away
    when they made fun of me and spit on me.
⁷ The Lord and King helps me.
    He won’t let me be dishonored.
So I’ve made up my mind to keep on serving him.
    I know he won’t let me be put to shame.
⁸ He is near. He will prove I haven’t done anything wrong.
    So who will bring charges against me?
    Let’s face each other in court!
Who can bring charges against me?
    Let him come and face me!
