“Isa. 50:4–9 [2 Ne. 7:4–9] is known as a ‘servant song.’ (Other servant songs are found in [Isa.] 42:1–9; 49:1–7; 52:13–15; 53:1–12.) The servant in this case seems to be Christ in the meridian of time. As the headnote to this chapter in the LDS edition of the Bible says, ‘Isaiah speaks Messianically—Messiah shall have the tongue of the learned.’ These verses also apply to Isaiah or to any true servant of the Lord who obeys despite persecution” (Parry et al., Understanding Isaiah, 441).
