5The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
8He is near that justifieth me; who will content with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
10Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God.
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
