Isaiah 50:4-5

English Standard Version

⁴The 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.

Christ's Glory and the Prophetic Word

¹⁶For we did not follow ^(A)cleverly devised ^(B)myths when we made known to you ^(C)the power and ^(D)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but ^(E)we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, ^(F)“This is my beloved Son,^[a] with whom I am well pleased,” ¹⁸we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on ^(G)the holy mountain. ¹⁹And ^(H)we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^(I)as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^(J)the day ^(K)dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, ²⁰knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. ²¹For ^(L)no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^(M)as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
