Isaiah 50:6-8

6 ^aI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and spitting.
7 But the Lord God helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
^btherefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
8 ^cHe who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
