Isaiah 50:3-5
The Voice
3 I can dress the heavens with blackness
and trade its velvet skies for the scratchy clothes of mourning.
4 The Lord, the Eternal, equipped me for this job—
with skilled speech, a smooth tongue for instruction.
I can find the words that comfort and soothe the downtrodden, tired, and despairing.
And I know when to use them.
Each morning, it is God who wakes me and tells me what I should do,
what I should say.
5 The Lord, the Eternal, has helped me to listen,
and I do as He says. I have not been rebellious or run away from God’s work.

to know the word that sustains the weary.(E)
He wakens me morning by morning,(F)
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.(G)
5 The Sovereign Lord(H) has opened my ears;(I)
I have not been rebellious,(J)
I have not turned away.
