Isaiah 50:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

3 I clothe the heavens in black,
    and make sackcloth their covering.

4 [a]The Lord God has given me
    a well-trained tongue,
That I might know how to answer the weary
    a word that will waken them.
Morning after morning
    he wakens my ear to hear as disciples do;
5 The Lord God opened my ear;
    I did not refuse,
    did not turn away.[b]
