He gives his cheek to the One smiting him; he is filled with reproach.
They have gaped at me with their mouth and with scorn struck my cheek; they gather themselves together against me.
They loathe me, and they keep away from me; they do not spare spit from my face;
Be gracious to us, O Jehovah; be gracious to us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Reproach has broken My heart, and I am sick; and I waited for one to show pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
For the zeal of Your house has consumed Me; and the reproaches of the ones who reproach You have fallen on Me.
I gave My back to strikers, and My cheeks to pluckers; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
Now gather yourself together, daughter of a troop; one sets a siege against us. They shall strike the One judging Israel with a rod on the cheek.
Then they spat in His face, and beat Him with the fist, and some slapped Him,
but I say to you, Do not resist the evil; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.
To him striking you on the cheek, turn the other also. And from him taking your garment, do not keep back the tunic also. And to everyone asking you, give. And from the one taking your things, do not ask back.
For you endure if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours you, if anyone takes away from you, if anyone exalts self, if anyone beats you in the face.
