| 50:4 |
The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher. |
| 50:5 |
The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back. |
| 50:6 |
I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me. |
| 50:7 |
The Lord God is my helper. Therefore, I have not been confounded. Therefore, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded. |
| 50:8 |
He who justifies me is near. Who will speak against me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him approach me. |
| 50:9 |
Behold, the Lord God is my helper. Who is the one who would condemn me? Behold, they will all be worn away like a garment; the moth will devour them. |
