Isaiah
Chapter 50
1
Thus said Jehovah/God,
Where
is the bill of your mother's divorcement,
whom
I have put away?
Or
which of my creditors is it
to
whom I have sold you?
Behold,
for your 'punishment for sins'/iniquities {`avon}
have
you sold yourselves,
and
for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Therefore, when I came, was there no man?
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?
Behold,
at My rebuke I dry up the sea,
I
make the rivers a desert/wilderness . . .
their
fish stink, because there is no water,
and
die for thirst.
3
I clothe the heavens with blackness,
and
I make sackcloth their covering.
4``
The Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah
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
wakens morning by morning,
He
wakens My ear to hear as the learned.
5``The
Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah
has
opened my ear,
and
I was not rebellious,
neither
turned away back.
6
I gave my back to the smiters/slanderers,
and
my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair.
I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7`` For the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah will help me.
Therefore shall I not be confounded.
Therefore
have I set my face like a flint,
and
I know that I shall 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 to me.
9``
Behold, the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah will help me . . .
who
is he who shall condemn me?
Lo,
they all shall grow/wax old as a garment;
the
moth shall eat them up.
10
Who is among you who fears Jehovah/God,
who
obeys the voice of his servant,
who
walks in darkness, and has no light?
Let
him trust in the name of Jehovah/God,
and
stay upon his 'Elohiym/Godhead.
11
Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
who
compass yourselves about with sparks.
Walk
in the light of your fire,
and
in the sparks that you have kindled.
This shall you have of my hand.
You shall lie down in sorrow.
