以賽亞書 50：4-7
現代文譯本（2019）
4 至高的上主教我該說的話，
使我能安慰憂傷的人。
每天清晨，他喚醒我，
使我渴望聽他的教導。
5 至高的上主使我領悟；
我不反叛，不違背。
6 我任憑人鞭打我的背，
拔我的鬍鬚，
吐唾沫在我臉上；
我忍受人的侮辱。
7 但他們的侮辱不能傷害我，
因為至高的上主幫助我。
我勇敢地忍受一切，
知道我不至於蒙羞。
ESV
4 The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward.
6 I 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; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
《聖經串珠注釋》
「主 …… 賜我受教者的舌頭」：僕人從神那裡得到智慧，能將神的話有效地傳講。
打背是給惡徒的刑罰；拔人家鬍鬚是極盡羞辱的舉動，因中東一帶人士以蓄鬍鬚為自由與尊嚴的象徵。僕人對這些侮辱不獨不逃避，更勇敢地面對。
