Isaiah 50:5-9a

(Found here)

The Lord GOD opens my ear that I may hear;

   and I have not rebelled,

   have not turned back.

I gave my back to those who beat me,

   my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;

my face I did not shield

   from buffets and spitting.

The Lord GOD is my help,

   therefore I am not disgraced;

I have set my face like flint,

   knowing that I shall not be put to shame.

He is near who upholds my right;

   if anyone wishes to oppose me,

   let us appear together.

Who disputes my right?

   Let that man confront me.

See, the Lord GOD is my help;

   who will prove me wrong?
