Isaiah 50:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴ The Lord God has given ^(A)me
    the tongue of those who are taught,
that ^(B)I may know how to sustain with a word
    ^(C)him who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
    he awakens my ear
    to hear as those who are taught.
^5 (D)The Lord God has opened my ear,
    ^(E)and I was not rebellious;
    I turned not backward.
^6 (F)I gave my back to those who strike,
    and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
    from disgrace and spitting.

⁷ But the Lord God helps me;
    therefore I have not been disgraced;
^(G)therefore I have set my face like a flint,
    and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
