4 The Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple. 5 The Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back. 6 I 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. 7 Because the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} 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. 8 The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me! 9 Surely the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them. 10 Who among you⁺ fears the LORD {YHWH} and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God {Elohim}. 11 Behold, all you⁺ who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your⁺ fire and of the firebrands you⁺ have lit! This is what you⁺ will receive from My hand: You⁺ will lie down in a place of torment. Isaiah 50:4-11, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
