Isaiah 50
50
1Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Where [is] the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you2f sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2For what reason, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because [there is] no water, and dies for thirst.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7For the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 [He is] near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] my adversary? let him come near to me.
9Behold, the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall grow (become; advance) old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10Who [is] among you that fears the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks [in] darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and stay upon his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
11Behold, all you2f that kindle a fire, that compass (go around, encircle; encompass) [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] you2f have kindled. This shall you2f have of my hand; you2f shall lie down in sorrow.

Isaiah 50
50
1This is what the Lord says:
Where is your mother’s divorce certificate
that I used to send her away?#Dt 24:1–3; Jr 3:8
Or to which of my creditors did I sell you?#Dt 32:30; 2Kg 4:1; Neh 5:5
Look, you were sold for your iniquities,#Is 13:11
and your mother was sent away
because of your transgressions.
2Why was no one there when I came?
Why was there no one to answer when I called?
Is my arm too weak to redeem?#Gn 18:14; Nm 11:23; Is 59:1
Or do I have no power to rescue?
Look, I dry up the sea by my rebuke;#Ex 14:21; Is 43:16; 44:27
I turn the rivers into a wilderness;
their fish rot because of lack of water
and die of thirst.
3I dress the heavens in black
and make sackcloth their covering.#Rv 6:12
The Obedient Servant
4The Lord God has given me
the tongue of those who are instructed#Is 8:16; 54:13
to know how to sustain the weary with a word.
He awakens me each morning;
he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.#Jn 4:34
5The Lord God has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious;
I did not turn back.#Jn 8:29; 14:31; 15:10; Php 2:8; Heb 5:8
6I gave my back to those who beat me,
and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard.
I did not hide my face from scorn and spitting.#Mt 26:67; 27:26; Mk 14:65; 15:19; Lk 22:63; Jn 19:1–5
7The Lord God will help me;
therefore I have not been humiliated;
therefore I have set my face like flint,#Ezk 3:8–9
and I know I will not be put to shame.
8The one who vindicates me is near;#Is 45:25
who will contend with me?
Let us confront each other.#50:8 Lit us stand
Who has a case against me?#50:8 Lit Who is lord of my judgment
Let him come near me!
9In truth, the Lord God will help me;
who will condemn me?#Rm 8:33–34
Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;
a moth will devour them.#Jb 13:28; Is 51:8; Hs 5:12
10Who among you fears the Lord
and listens to his servant?#Is 42:1; 49:3–7; 52:13; 53:11; Ezk 34:23–24; Zch 3:8; Ac 3:13
Who among you walks in darkness,
and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the Lord;
let him lean on his God.
11Look, all you who kindle a fire,
who encircle yourselves with#50:11 Syr reads who set ablaze torches;
walk in the light of your fire
and of the torches you have lit!
This is what you’ll get from my hand:
you will lie down in a place of torment.
