The Lord God has given Me [His ^[a]Servant] the tongue of disciples [as One who is taught],
That I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple [as One who is taught].
⁵ 
The Lord God has opened My ear,
And I have not been rebellious
Nor have I turned back.
⁶ 
I turned My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.^(A)
