"I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them..."

In those days Isaias said: The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I do not resist: I have not home back.  I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them; I have not turned my face away from them that rebuked me and spit upon me.  The Lord God is my helper, therefore I am not confounded: therefore I have set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be confounded.  He is near that justifieth me.  Who will contend with me?  Let us stand together.  Who is mine adversary?  Let him come near to me.  Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me?  Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.  Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that heareth the voice of his servant?  He that hath walked in darkness, and hath no light, let him hope in the name of the Lord and lean upon his God.

Is. 50:5-10
