Book of Isaiah, Chapter 50
Chapter 50 of Isaiah
“Where is your mother’s bill of divorce,
with which I put her away?
Or which of my creditors is it
to whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities you were sold,
and for your transgressions your mother was put away.
When I called, was there no one to answer?
Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a desert;
their fish stink for lack of water,
and die of thirst.
and make sackcloth their covering.”
the tongue of those who are taught,
that I may know how to sustain with a word
him that is weary.
Morning by morning he wakens,
he wakens my ear
to hear as those who are taught.
and I was not rebellious,
I turned not backward.
and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;
I hid not my face
from shame and spitting.
therefore I have not been confounded;
therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame;
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
the moth will eat them up.
and obeys the voice of his servant,
who walks in darkness
and has no light,
yet trusts in the name of the LORD
and relies upon his God?
who set brands alight![a]
Walk by the light of your fire,
and by the brands which you have kindled!
This shall you have from my hand:
you shall lie down in torment.FOOTNOTES
