Notes

Isaiah 50:7

Externally, the servant would be disgraced and shamed by others. However, inside himself he would wait calmly for God to prove that he was right (see Isaiah 29:22; 54:4; 61:7). He trusted that God would defend him and clear his name.
set My face like flint: The servant would be determined to follow God's will (see Luke 9:51).

Isaiah 50:4–11

This is the third of four servant songs (see study note on Isaiah 42:1–4). The loyal and suffering servant represents an ideal Israel. This image came true in Jesus Christ.
