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.
Isaiah 50:4-9
International Standard Version
The Servant’s Obedience
4 “The Lord God has given me
a learned tongue, so that I may know
how to sustain the weary with words.
And[a] morning after morning he wakens,
and[b] he wakens my ear to
listen like those who are being taught.
5 My Lord God[c] has opened my ears,
and I did not rebel;
I did not shrink back.
6 I gave my back to those who beat me
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard.[d]
I did not turn away[e] my face
from insults and spitting.
7 For the Lord God helps me,
so I won’t be disgraced.
Therefore I’ve made my face like flint,
and I know that I won’t be put to shame.”
The Servant’s Vindication
8 The one who vindicates me is near.
Who, then, will bring a charge against me?
Let’s face each other!
Who has a case against me?
Let him confront me!
9 See! It is the Lord God who will help me.
Who is it that will declare me guilty?
See! They will all wear out like a garment;
moths will eat them up.
