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 who were My creditors that I sold you to? # Dt 32:30; 2Kg 4:1; Neh 5:5
Look, you were sold for your iniquities, # Is 13:11
and your mother was put 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 hand too short to redeem? # Gn 18:14; Nm 11:23; Is 59:1
Or do I have no power to deliver?
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 clothing. # 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. # Lit us stand
Who has a case against Me? # 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,
listening to the voice of 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 Yahweh;
let him lean on his God.
11Look, all you who kindle a fire,
who encircle yourselves with # Syr reads who set ablaze firebrands;
walk in the light of your fire
and in the firebrands you have lit!
This is what you’ll get from My hand:
you will lie down in a place of torment.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 50
50
1Thus says יהוה, “Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, you were sold for your crookednesses, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
2“When I came, why was there no man? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Was My hand too short to ransom? Or have I no power to deliver? See, by My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink for there is not water, and die of thirst.
3“I clothe the heavens with darkness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
4The Master יהוה has given Me the tongue of taught ones, that I should know to help the weary with a word. He wakes Me morning by morning, he wakes My ear to hear as taught ones.
5The Master יהוה has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.
6I 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 humiliation and spitting.
7And the Master יהוה helps Me, therefore I shall not be humiliated. So I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I am not put to shame.
8Near is He who declares Me right. Who would contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me.
9See, the Master יהוה helps Me. Who would declare Me wrong? See, all of them wear out like a garment, a moth eats them.
10Who among you is fearing יהוה, obeying the voice of His Servant, that has walked in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the Name of יהוה and lean upon his Elohim!
11See, all you who light a fire, girding on burning arrows: walk in the light of your fire and in the burning arrows you have lit. From My hand you shall have this: you shall lie down in grief!
