Isaiah

Isaiah 50:5–7

⁵The Lord GOD has opened My ears,

and I have not been rebellious,

nor have I turned back.

⁶I offered My back to those who struck Me,

and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard.

I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.

⁷Because the Lord GOD helps Me,

I have not been disgraced;

therefore I have set My face like flint,

and I know that I will not be put to shame.
