The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is bweary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
And bMy cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and cspitting.
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore aI have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is1 My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
Who is he who will condemn Me?
aIndeed they will all grow old like a garment;
bThe moth will eat them up.
| << Isaiah 50:5 | Isaiah 50:7 >> |
