(A)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And (B)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and (C)spitting.

“For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore (D)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
(E)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is [a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.

  1. Isaiah 50:8 Lit. master of My judgment

I (A)gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pull out My beard;
I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.
For the Lord God (B)helps Me,
Therefore, I am (C)not disgraced;
Therefore, I have made My face like (D)flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He who (E)vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us (F)stand up to each other.
Who has a case against Me?
Let him approach Me.
