Isaiah 50:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ The Lord hath given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.

⁵ The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back.

⁶ I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.
