I (A)gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pull out My beard;
I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.
For the Lord God (B)helps Me,
Therefore, I am (C)not disgraced;
Therefore, I have made My face like (D)flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
He who (E)vindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us (F)stand up to each other.
Who has a case against Me?
Let him approach Me.

    Let him confront me!
