Isaiah 50:5-11

The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears;

I have not been rebellious,

I have not turned away.

I offered my back to those who beat me,

my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;

I did not hide my face

from mocking and spitting.

Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,

I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint,

and I know I will not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near.

Who then will bring charges against me?

Let us face each other! Who is my accuser?

Let him confront me! It is the Sovereign LORD who helps me.

Who will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment;

the moths will eat them up.
Who among you fears the LORD

and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark,

who has no light, trust in the name of the LORD

and rely on their God. But now, all you who light fires

and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires

and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand:

You will lie down in torment.
