50:7 But the sovereign Lord helps me,
so I am not humiliated.
For that reason I am steadfastly resolved; 1
I know I will not be put to shame.
50:8 The one who vindicates me is close by.
Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other! 2
Who is my accuser? 3 Let him challenge me! 4
50:9 Look, the sovereign Lord helps me.
Who dares to condemn me?
Look, all of them will wear out like clothes;
a moth will eat away at them.
