Isaiah 50:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The Lord God gave me a tongue like the learned, an instructed tongue,
so I know how to sustain the weary with a word.
He wakes me up morning by morning.
He wakes up my ears so that I listen like the learned.
⁵ The Lord God opened my ear,
and I myself was not rebellious.
I did not turn back.
⁶ I submitted my back to those who beat me,
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard.
I did not hide my face from disgrace and from spit.
