TRUSTING WHILE FACING SUFFERING: AN EXEGESIS OF ISAIAH 50:4-11

A Term Paper Presented to Dr. Todd Beall of Capital Bible Seminary _____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Divinity ____________ by Terry Pruitt May 7, 2013                                                                 4 The Lord G OD gave to me a tongue of disciples,             to know how to sustain the weary with a word,   He rouses morning by morning,               He rouses my ear to listen as the learned ones.   5 The Lord G OD opened my ear             and I myself was not rebellious,             I did not turn my back. ­­ 6 I gave my back to those striking me             and my cheeks to those who plucked them bare;             I did not hide my face from reproach and spittle. 7 But the Lord G OD shall help me;             therefore, I shall not be disgraced, therefore I have placed my face like flint,             and I know that I will not be ashamed.    8
