50:5 The sovereign Lord has spoken to me clearly; 1
I have not rebelled,
I have not turned back.
50:6 I offered my back to those who attacked, 2
my jaws to those who tore out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from insults and spitting.
50:7 But the sovereign Lord helps me,
so I am not humiliated.
For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; 3
I know I will not be put to shame.
