Yahweh's servant continues speaking.
therefore I am not disgraced
Even though the servant has been mistreated, he will not be ashamed because he has obeyed Yahweh. This can be stated in active form. AT: "therefore I will not be ashamed" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
so I have made my face like flint

for I know that I will not be put to shame
The servant looks to the future with confidence, secure in Yahweh's calling. This can be stated in active form. AT: "for I know that my enemies will not be able to make me feel shame" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
