Isaiah 50:4–11

^4oThe Lord God hath given me the tongue of ^pthe learned,

^qThat I should know how to speak a word in season to ^rhim that is weary:

He wakeneth ^smorning by morning,

He wakeneth mine ear to hear as ^pthe learned.

⁵The Lord God ^thath opened mine ear,

And ^uI was not rebellious,

Neither ^vturned away back.

⁶I ^wgave my back to the smiters,

And ^xymy cheeks to ^zthem that plucked off the hair:

I hid not my face from shame and ^xaspitting.

⁷For the Lord God will help me;

Therefore shall I not be confounded:

Therefore have ^bI set my face like ^ca flint,

And ^dI know that I shall not be ashamed.

^8eHe is near that justifieth me;

^fWho will contend with me? let us stand together:

Who is ^†mine adversary? let him come near to me.

⁹Behold, the Lord God will help me;

Who is he that shall condemn me?

Lo, ^ghthey all shall wax old as a garment; ^githe moth shall eat them up.

¹⁰Who is among you that feareth the Lord,

That obeyeth the voice of his servant,

^kThat walketh in darkness, and hath no light?

Let him trust in the name of the Lord,

And ^lstay upon his God.

¹¹Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with ^msparks:

Walk in ⁿthe light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye ^ohave kindled.

^pThis shall ye have of mine hand;

Ye shall lie down ^qin sorrow.
