Isaiah 50:7-9 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint… The verse is better rendered thus: "But the Lord Jehovah helps Me, therefore I was not ashamed" (i. e., felt no shame); "therefore I made My face like flint" (figure for determination, Ezekiel 3:9), "and knew that I should not be put to shame" (Isaiah 42:4). (Prof. J. Skinner, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
