Isaiah 50:3-5

Common English Bible

⁴ The Lord God gave me an educated tongue
    to know how to respond to the weary
    with a word that will awaken them in the morning.^[a]
    God awakens my ear in the morning to listen,
    as educated people do.
⁵ The Lord God opened my ear;
    I didn’t rebel; I didn’t turn my back.
