Isaiah 50:4-9
New King James Version
4 “The(A) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is (B)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God (C)has opened My ear;
And I was not (D)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
6 (E)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And (F)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and (G)spitting.
7 “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore (H)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 (I)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.
9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
(J)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
(K)The moth will eat them up.

Isaiah 50:4-9
Authorized (King James) Version
4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned,
that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary:
he wakeneth morning by morning,
he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God hath opened mine ear,
and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters,
and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair:
I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord God will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me?
let us stand together:
who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the Lord God will help me;
who is he that shall condemn me?
lo, they all shall wax old as a garment;
the moth shall eat them up.
