Isaiah

⁴The Lord GODhath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught. ⁵The Lord GODhath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward. ⁶I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. ⁷For the Lord GODwill help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. ⁸He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. ⁹Behold, the Lord GODwill help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. ¹⁰Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.
