NASB2020 ▾Isaiah ▾50 ▾Isaiah 501This is what the L ord says: “Where is the certificate of divorce By which I have sent your mother away? Or to whom of My creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your wrongdoings, And for your wrongful acts your mother was sent away.2“Why was there no one when I came? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is My hand so short that it cannot redeem? Or do I have no power to rescue? Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke, I turn rivers into a wilderness; Their fish stink for lack of water, And die of thirst.3“I clothe the heavens with blackness, And make sackcloth their covering.”4¶The Lord G od has given Me the tongue of disciples, So that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.5The Lord G od has opened My ear, And I was not disobedient, Nor did I turn back.6I gave My back to those who strike Me, And My cheeks to those who pull out My beard; I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.7For the Lord G od helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced; Therefore, I have made My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.8He who vindicates Me is near; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand up to each other. Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me.9Behold, the Lord G od helps Me; Who is he who condemns Me? Behold, they will all wear out like a garment; A moth will eat them.10Who is among you who fears the L ord , Who obeys the voice of His Servant, Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the L ord and rely on his God.11Behold, all you who kindle a fire, Who encircle yourselves with flaming arrows, Walk in the light of your fire And among the flaming arrows you have set ablaze. This you will have from My hand: You will lie down in torment.Isaiah 49Isaiah 51
