“The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.”
King James Version (KJV)
50:3 I clothe - When it is necessary to save my people, I cover them with thick and dark clouds black as sackcloth, #Rev 6:12|.
50:4 Given me - This and the following passages may be in some sort understood of the prophet Isaiah, but they are far more evidently and eminently verified in Christ, and indeed seem to be meant directly of him. The tongue - All ability of speaking plainly, and convincingly, and persuasively. Weary - Burdened with the sense of his, deplorable condition. Wakeneth - Me, from time to time, and continually. To hear - He by his Divine power assists me to the practice of all his commands and my duties, with all attention and diligence.
50:6 I gave - I patiently yielded up myself to those who smote me.
