Isaiah 50

¹Thus says Yahweh:

“Where is this divorce document of your mother’s divorce, with which I dismissed her?

Look! you were sold because of your sin,

²Why was there no man when I came,

Do I lack the strength to save?

Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea;

their fish stink because there is no water,

³I clothe the heavens with darkness,

The Servant’s Vindication

⁴The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a pupil,

He awakens morning by morning,

⁵The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me,

I did not turn backwards;

and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;

⁷And the Lord Yahweh helps me,

therefore I have not been put to shame;

And I know that I shall not be ashamed;

Who will contend with me? Let us stand together.

⁹Look! The Lord Yahweh helps me.

Look! All of them will be worn out like a garment;

¹⁰Who among you is in fear of Yahweh,

Who walks in darkness

¹¹Look! All of you are kindlers of fire,

Walk in the light of your fire,

You shall have this from my hand:
