Isaiah 50

1 Thus says the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put heraway? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, you⌃ are sold for your sins, and for your iniquitieshave I put your mother away. 2 Why did I come, and there was no man?why did I call, and there was none to hearken? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I notdeliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shallbe dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst. 3 I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth. 4 The Lordeven God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he hasappointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear: 5 and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey,nor dispute. 6 I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face fromthe shame of spitting: 7 but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as asolid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed, 8 for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him standup against me at the same time: yes, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw near to me. 9 Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all you⌃ shall waxold as a garment, and a moth shall devour you. 10 Who is among you that fears the Lord? let him hearken to the voice of his servant: you⌃that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God. 11 Behold, you⌃ all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, andin the flame which you⌃ have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; you⌃ shall lie down in sorrow.
