    I gave my back to those who struck me,
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;[a]
    I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.

And the Lord Yahweh helps me,

    therefore I have set my face like flint.

Who will contend with me? Let us stand together.
    Who is the master of my judgment? Let him approach me.
