Isaiah 50:4-9
Christian Standard Bible
The Obedient Servant
4 The Lord God has given me
the tongue of those who are instructed(A)
to know how to sustain the weary with a word.
He awakens me each morning;
he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.(B)
5 The Lord God has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious;
I did not turn back.(C)
6 I gave my back to those who beat me,
and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard.
I did not hide my face from scorn and spitting.(D)
7 The Lord God will help me;
therefore I have not been humiliated;
therefore I have set my face like flint,(E)
and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 The one who vindicates me is near;(F)
who will contend with me?
Let us confront each other.[a]
Who has a case against me?[b]
Let him come near me!
9 In truth, the Lord God will help me;
who will condemn me?(G)
Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;
a moth will devour them.(H)
