I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 50 of Isaiah. The Servant receives a disciple’s tongue to sustain the weary and listens each morning to divine instruction. His obedience includes accepting opposition and suffering without abandoning his trust in God. The invitation to those walking in darkness to trust in Yahweh’s name contrasts with those who attempt to produce their own light.

Ich hielt meinen Rücken dar denen, die mich schlugen, und meine Wangen denen, die mich rauften; mein Angesicht verbarg ich nicht vor Schmach und Speichel.
Dí mi cuerpo a los heridores, y mis mejillas a los que me mesaban el cabello: no escondí mi rostro de las injurias y esputos.
Ofrecí mi espalda a los que me golpeaban y mis mejillas a los que me arrancaban la barba; no escondí mi rostro de los insultos y los salivazos.
J'ai livré mon dos à ceux qui me frappaient, Et mes joues à ceux qui m'arrachaient la barbe; Je n'ai pas dérobé mon visage Aux ignominies et aux crachats.
Io ho porto il mio corpo a’ percotitori, e le mie guance a quelli che mi strappavano i capelli; io non ho nascosta la mia faccia dalle onte, nè dallo sputo.
As minhas costas ofereci aos que me feriam, e a minha face aos que me arrancavam os cabelos; não escondi a minha face dos que me afrontavam e me cuspiam.
人打我的背,我任他打; 人拔我兩頰的鬍鬚,我由他拔; 人侮辱我,向我吐唾沫,我並不掩面。
