Isaiah 50:4
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
KJV
Dominus dedit mihi linguam eruditam, ut sciam sustentare eum qui lassus est verbo. Erigit mane, mane erigit mihi aurem, ut audiam quasi magistrum.
Vulgate
Κύριος δίδωσίν μοι γλῶσσαν παιδίας τοῦ γνῶναι ἡνίκα δεῖ εἰπεῖν λόγον· ἔθηκέν μοι πρωί, προσέθηκέν μοι ὠτίον ἀκούειν,
LXX
The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.
