The Servant’s Vindication

• 4 the tongue of a pupil, to know how to help the weary with a word.
• He awakens[fn]
  • awakens an ear for me to listen as do the pupils.
  • 5  and I, I was not rebellious.
• I did not turn backwards;
• 6 me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out my[fn]
  • I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.
• 7 And the Lord Yahweh helps me,therefore I have not been put to shame;
  • therefore I have set my face like flint.
• And I know that I shall not be ashamed;
• 8 is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together.
  • Who is the master of my judgment? Let him approach me.
  • 9  Who is the one who will declare me guilty?
• Look! All of them will be worn out like a garment;
  • the moth will eat them.
  • 10 is in fear of Yahweh, obeys[fn] the voice of his servant?
• Who walks in darkness
  • and has no light,
• trusts in the name of Yahweh
  • and depends on his God?
  • 11 are kindlers of fire, who gird yourselves with flaming arrows.
• Walk in the light of your fire,
  • and among the flaming arrows you have kindled!
• You shall have this from my hand:
  • you shall lie down in[fn] a place of torment.
