Isaiah 50 Thus says Yahweh, "Where is this scroll of divorce of your mother, with which I let her go? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I sold you? Behold! For your depravities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thus says Yahweh, "Where is this scroll of divorce of your mother, with which I let her go? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I sold you? Behold! For your depravities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away." ² For what reason, when I came, was there no man? I called, and there was no answer? Is My hand too short to ransom? Or should no vigor be in Me to rescue? Behold! By My rebuke will I drain the sea; I will convert streams into a wilderness. Their fish will dry up, because there is no water, and they will die from thirst." ³ I will clothe the heavens with somberness, and I will make sackcloth their covering." ⁴ My Lord Yahweh gives me the tongue of the taught, to know in season to counsel with a word. And He is rousing morning by morning, and He is rousing my ear to hear as the taught." ⁵ My Lord Yahweh Elohim opens my ear, and I do not rebel. Thereafter I am not turned away." ⁶ My body I give to smiters, and my cheeks to burnishers. My face I do not conceal from confoundings and spitting." ⁷ And my Lord Yahweh is helping me. Therefore, I am not confounded. Therefore I set my face as a flint, and know that I shall not be shamed." ⁸ Near is my Justifier. Who will contend with me? We will stand together. Who possesses my judgment? He shall come close to me. ⁹ Behold! My Lord Yahweh will help me. Who is he who will condemn me? Behold! All of them, as a garment, will decay. The moth shall devour them." ¹⁰ Who among you fears Yahweh, hearing the voice of His servant? Who goes in darkness, and there is no brightness for him? Is he trusting in the name of Yahweh, and leaning on his Elohim? ¹¹ Behold! All of you are kindlers of fire, lighters of flambeaux. Walk in the light of your fire, and of the flambeaux you consume. From My hand this comes to you:For grief shall you lie down."
