Isaiah 50:3-6

“I clothe the heavens with the blackness [of storm clouds] And make sackcloth [of mourning] their clothing.” ¶The Lord GOD has given Me [His Servant] the tongue of disciples [as One who is taught], That I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple [as One who is taught]. The Lord GOD has opened My ear, And I have not been rebellious Nor have I turned back. I turned My back to those who strike Me, And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not hide My face from insults and spitting. [Matt 26:67; 27:30; John 19:1]
