Isaiah 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. The lash is nothing among us compared with what it was among the Romans. I have heard that it was made of the sinews of oxen, and that in it were twisted the hucklebones of sheep, with slivers of bone, in order that every stroke might more effectually tear its way into the poor quivering flesh, which was mangled by its awful strokes. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. |
