Truth, Mathew Brady

Isaiah 50:4-7

 

“The Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary.

 

Group of contrabands [runaway slaves] at Foller's house, Mathew Brady

 

He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
The Lord God has opened My ear;
And I was not rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.

Gordon, Mathew Brady

 

I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

“For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.

 

Slave Children, Mathew Brady
