The Book of Isaiah 50

50 Thus says Yahweh,

“Where is the divorce certificate of your mother,

whom I have sent away?

And, to which of my creditors did I sell you?

Behold, you were sold because of your sins,

and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent away.

2 Why did I come when there was no one,

call, when no one answered?

Was my hand too short to ransom?

And was no power in me to rescue?

Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea;

I make the rivers a wilderness;

their fish stink where there is no water

and die on thirsty ground.

3 I clothe the sky with darkness,

and I lay sackcloth as its cover.”

4 The Lord Yahweh has given me a learned tongue,

knowing to give a word to the weary;

he wakes me morning by morning;

he awakens my ear to hear like the disciples.

5 The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear,

and I was not rebellious;

I did not turn away backward.

6 I gave my back to assaulters,

and my cheeks to those who pluck my face;

I did not hide myself

from disgrace and spitting.

7 But the Lord Yahweh will help me;

therefore I am not disgraced;

therefore I set my face like flint,

for I know that I will not be ashamed.

8 My justifier is close.

Who will contend with me? Let us stand against one another!

Who is the adversary of my case?

Let him come near to me!

9 Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me.

Who is he who condemns me?

Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;

the moth will devour them.

10 Who among you fears Yahweh,

obeying the voice of his servant,

who has walked in darkness

and there is no light for him?

Let him trust in the name of Yahweh

and lean on his God.

11 Behold, all of you kindlers of fire,

who gird on torches:

walk in the light of your fire

and in the flames of your kindling.

This is from my hand for you:

in anguish you will lie down.
