Isaiah 50
Berean Standard Bible
Israel’s Sin
1This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:
“WhereH335H2088 is your mother’sH517 certificateH5612 of divorceH3748with whichH834 I sent her awayH7971?OrH176 to whichH4310 of My creditorsH5383did I sell youH4376?LookH2005, you were soldH4376 for your iniquitiesH5771,and for your transgressionsH6588 your motherH517 was sent awayH7971.2WhyH4069 was noH369 one thereH376 when I arrivedH935?Why did no oneH369 answerH6030 when I calledH7121?Is My handH3027 too shortH7114 to redeem youH6304?OrH518 do I lackH369 the strengthH3581 to deliver youH5337?BeholdH2005, My rebukeH1606 dries upH2717 the seaH3220;I turn the riversH5104 intoH7760 a desertH4057;the fishH1710 rotH887 for lackH369 of waterH4325and dieH4191 of thirstH6772.
The Servant’s Obedience
(Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; Luke 22:63–65; John 19:1–15)
3I clotheH3847 the heavensH8064 in blackH6940 and makeH7760 sackclothH8242 their coveringH3682.”
4The LordH136 GODH3069 has givenH5414 Methe tongueH3956 of discipleshipH3928,to sustainH3045H5790 the wearyH3287 with a wordH1697.He awakens MeH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242;He awakensH5782 My earH241 to listenH8085 as a discipleH3928.5The LordH136 GODH3069 has openedH6605 My earsH241,and IH595 have not beenH3808 rebelliousH4784,nor have IH3808 turnedH5472 backH268.6I offeredH5414 My backH1460 to those who struck MeH5221,and My cheeksH3895 to those who tore out My beardH4803.I did notH3808 hideH5641 My faceH6440 from scornH3639 and spittleH7536.7Because the LordH136 GODH3069 helpsH5826 Me,I have notH3808 been disgracedH3637;thereforeH5921H3651 I have setH7760 My faceH6440 like flintH2496,and I knowH3045 thatH3588 I will notH3808 be put to shameH954.8The One who vindicates MeH6663 is nearH7138.WhoH4310 will dare to contendH7378 with MeH854?Let us confrontH5975 each otherH3162!WhoH4310H1167 has a case against MeH4639?Let him approachH5066 MeH413!9SurelyH2005 the LordH136 GODH3069 helpsH5826 Me.WhoH4310 is thereH1931 to condemn MeH7561?SeeH2005, they will allH3605 wear outH1086 like a garmentH899;the mothsH6211 will devour themH398.
10WhoH4310 among you fearsH3373 the LORDH3068and obeysH8085 the voiceH6963 of His ServantH5650?WhoH834 among you walksH1980 in darknessH2825and has noH369 lightH5051?Let him trustH982 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068;let him leanH8172 on his GodH430.11BeholdH2005, allH3605 you who kindleH6919 a fireH784,who array yourselvesH247 with firebrandsH2131,walkH1980 in the lightH217 of your fireH784and of the firebrandsH2131 you have litH1197!This is whatH2063 you will receiveH1961 from My handH3027:You will lie downH7901 in a place of tormentH4620.
