Isaiah 50:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The Lord and King has unplugged my ears.
    I’ve always obeyed him.
    I haven’t turned away from him.
⁶ I let my enemies beat me on my bare back.
    I let them pull the hair out of my beard.
I didn’t turn my face away
    when they made fun of me and spit on me.
⁷ The Lord and King helps me.
    He won’t let me be dishonored.
So I’ve made up my mind to keep on serving him.
    I know he won’t let me be put to shame.
