# Isaiah 50 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Servant, Israel's Hope
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 50
|
|
###### 1 Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"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?
|
|
For your iniquities you have sold yourselves,
|
|
And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Why, when I came, _was there_ no man?
|
|
_Why,_ 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?
|
|
Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea,
|
|
I make the rivers a wilderness;
|
|
Their fish stink because _there is_ no water,
|
|
And die of thirst.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 I clothe the heavens with blackness,
|
|
And I make sackcloth their covering."
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "The Lord God has given Me
|
|
The tongue of the learned,
|
|
That I should know how to speak
|
|
A word in season to _him who is_ weary.
|
|
He awakens Me morning by morning,
|
|
He awakens My ear
|
|
To hear as the learned.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 The Lord God has opened My ear;
|
|
And I was not rebellious,
|
|
Nor did I turn away.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 I 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 shame and spitting.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "For the Lord God will help Me;
|
|
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
|
|
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
|
|
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 _He is_ near who justifies Me;
|
|
Who will contend with Me?
|
|
Let us stand together.
|
|
Who _is_ My adversary?
|
|
Let him come near Me.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
|
|
Who _is_ he _who_ will condemn Me?
|
|
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
|
|
The moth will eat them up.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 "Who among you fears the Lord?
|
|
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
|
|
Who walks in darkness
|
|
And has no light?
|
|
Let him trust in the name of the Lord
|
|
And rely upon his God.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
|
|
Who encircle _yourselves_ with sparks:
|
|
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled--
|
|
This you shall have from My hand:
|
|
You shall lie down in torment.
|
|
