Summary: Isaiah: who will contend with the Lord's Servant?

## Greek text

Ὅτε οὖν ἐποίησεν τὴν ἐντολήν, τί λέγει; Τίς ὁ κρινόμενός μοι; ἀντιστήτω μοι· ἢ τίς ὁ δικαιούμενός μοι; ἐγγισάτω τῷ παιδὶ κυρίου.

## English translation (Claude)

When, then, he gave the command, what does he say? “Who is the one who disputes with me? Let him oppose me. Or who is the one who goes to law with me? Let him draw near to the Servant of the Lord.
