Isaiah 50:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ I offered my back to those who beat me.
    I offered my cheeks to those who ·pulled [ripped out] my beard.
I ·won’t [or did not] hide my face from them
    when they ·make fun of [mocked; insulted; shamed] me and spit at me [53:5; Matt. 26:67; 27:26; Mark 15:19; Luke 22:63].
⁷ The Lord God helps me,
    so I will not be ·ashamed [disgraced].
I ·will be determined [^Lhave set my face like flint; Ezek. 3:8–9],
    and I know I will not be ·disgraced [put to shame].
⁸ He ·shows that I am innocent [vindicates], and he is ·close to me [near].
    So who can ·accuse me [bring charges against me; Rom. 8:33–34]?
    If there is someone, let us ·go to court [^Lstand up] together.
·If someone wants to prove I have done wrong [^LWho are my accusers?],
    he should ·come and tell [challenge; ^Lcome near] me.
