Isaiah 50:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³I clothe the heavens with blackness,
and make sackcloth their covering.

The Servant’s Humiliation and Vindication

⁴The Lord God has given me
    the tongue of a teacher,^[a]
that I may know how to sustain
    the weary with a word.
Morning by morning he wakens—
    wakens my ear
    to listen as those who are taught.
⁵The Lord God has opened my ear,
    and I was not rebellious,
    I did not turn backwards.
