Herren Gud har gitt Meg i oppdrag å styrke den trette med Mine Ord. Han vekker Meg morgen etter morgen, så Jeg skal høre slik disipler hører. Herren Gud har åpnet Mitt øre. Jeg var ikke sta og vendte Meg ikke bort. Jeg lot dem slå ryggen Min og nappe ut skjegget Mitt, og ansiktet skjulte Jeg ikke for skam og spytt.
