Isaiah 50:5
3 I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”
4 The Lord GOD 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.
The Lord GOD 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 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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
