5 The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backwards. 6 I gave My back to the strikers, and My cheeks to pluckers; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. 7 For the Lord Jehovah will help Me; therefore I have not been ashamed. On account of this I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
