The Book of the Prophet Isaiah   50: 5-9

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.
