Isaiah 50:4-9
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Lord Yahweh has given Me the tongue of (A)disciples,
That I may know how to (B)sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me (C)morning by morning;
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
5 Lord Yahweh has (D)opened My ear;
And I did (E)not rebel
Nor did I turn back.
6 I (F)gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not hide My face from dishonor and spitting.
7 Even now Lord Yahweh (G)helps Me,
Therefore, I am (H)not dishonored;
Therefore, I have set My face like (I)flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 He who [a](J)vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us (K)stand up to each other;
Who has a judgment against Me?
Let him approach Me.
9 Behold, (L)Lord Yahweh helps Me;
(M)Who is he who condemns Me?
Behold, (N)they will all wear out like a garment;
The moth will eat them.

Isaiah 50:4-9
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.
8 (H)He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
9 (I)Behold, the Lord God helps me;
who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.
