Isaiah 50

God Helps His Servant

1Thus says the Lord, “Where is the acertificate of divorce
By which I have bsent your mother away?
Or to whom of My creditors did I csell you?
Behold, you were sold for your diniquities,
And for your etransgressions your mother fwas sent away.
 2“Why was there gno man when I came?
When I called, why was there none to answer?
Is My hhand so short that it cannot ransom?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, I idry up the sea with My rebuke,
I jmake the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water
And die of thirst.
 3“I kclothe the heavens with blackness
And make sackcloth their covering.”

 4The Lord ▼
▼ Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord , and so throughout the ch
God has given Me the tongue of mdisciples,
That I may know how to nsustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me omorning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
 5The Lord God has popened My ear;
And I was qnot disobedient
Nor did I turn back.
 6I rgave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.
 7For the Lord God shelps Me,
Therefore, I am tnot disgraced;
Therefore, I have set My face like uflint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
 8He who vvindicates Me is near;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us wstand up to each other;
Who has a case against Me?
Let him draw near to Me.
 9Behold, xthe Lord God helps Me;
yWho is he who condemns Me?
Behold, zthey will all wear out like a garment;
The moth will eat them.
 10Who is among you that fears the Lord,
That obeys the voice of His aaservant,
That abwalks in darkness and has no light?
Let him actrust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
 11Behold, all you who adkindle a fire,
Who ▼
▼ Lit gird
encircle yourselves with firebrands,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the brands you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will aflie down in torment.
