Isaiah 50:4-9
New Living Translation
The Lord’s Obedient Servant
4 The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom,
so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
and opens my understanding to his will.
5 The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me,
and I have listened.
I have not rebelled or turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat me
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard.
I did not hide my face
from mockery and spitting.
7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,
determined to do his will.
And I know that I will not be put to shame.
8 He who gives me justice is near.
Who will dare to bring charges against me now?
Where are my accusers?
Let them appear!
9 See, the Sovereign Lord is on my side!
Who will declare me guilty?
All my enemies will be destroyed
like old clothes that have been eaten by moths!
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.
