Isaias (Isaiah) 50
50
1THUS saith the Lord: What is this bill of the divorce of your mother, with which I have put her away? Or who is my creditor, to whom I sold you? Behold, you are sold for your iniquities: and for your wicked deeds have I put your mother away.
2Because I came, and there was not a man: I called, and there was none that would hear. Is my hand shortened and become little, that I cannot redeem? Or is there no strength in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I will make the sea a desert, I will turn the rivers into dry land: the fishes shall rot for want of water and shall die for thirst.
3I will clothe the heavens with darkness and will make sackcloth their covering.
4The Lord hath given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary. He wakeneth in the morning: in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.
5The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back.
6I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me and spit upon me.
7The Lord God is my helper: therefore am I not confounded. Therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock: and I know that I shall not be confounded.
8He is near that justifieth me. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
10Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that heareth the voice of his servant, that hath walked in darkness, and hath no light? Let him hope in the name of the Lord and lean upon his God.
11Behold, all you that kindle a fire, encompassed with flames, walk in the light of your fire and in the flames which you have kindled. This is done to you by my hand: you shall sleep in sorrows.

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.
