NASB — Isaiah 50 — KJV

God Helps His Servant

1 Thus° says° the LORD°,
  “Where° is the acertificate° of divorce°
  By which° I have bsent° your mother° away°?
  Or° to whom° of My creditors° did I csell° you?
  Behold°, you were sold° for your diniquities°,
  And for your etransgressions° your mother° fwas sent° away°.
  2 “Why° was there° ano° man° when I came°?
  When I called°, [why] was there° none° to answer°?
  Is My bhand° so° short° that it cannot° ransom°?
  Or° have° I no° power° to deliver°?
  Behold°, I cdry° up the sea° with My rebuke°,
  I dmake° the rivers° a wilderness°;
  Their fish° stink° for lack° of water°
  And die° of thirst°.
  3 “I aclothe° the heavens° with blackness°
  And make° sackcloth° their covering°.”

  That I may know° how to bsustain° the weary° one° with a word°.
  He awakens° [Me] cmorning° by morning°,
  He awakens° My ear° to listen° as a disciple°.
  5 The Lord° GOD° has aopened° My ear°;
  And I was bnot disobedient°
  Nor° did I turn° back°.
  6 I agave° My back° to those who strike° [Me],
  And My cheeks° to those who pluck° out the beard°;
  I did not cover° My face° from humiliation° and spitting°.
  7 For the Lord° GOD° ahelps° Me,

  Therefore°°, I have set° My face° like cflint°,
  And I know° that I will not be ashamed°.
  8 He who avindicates° Me is near°;
  Who° will contend° with Me?

  Let him draw° near° to Me.
  9 Behold°, athe Lord° GOD° helps° Me;
  bWho° is he who condemns° Me?
  Behold°, cthey will all° wear° out like a garment°;
  The moth° will eat° them.
  10 Who° is among you that fears° the LORD°,
  That obeys° the voice° of His aservant°,
  That bwalks° in darkness° and has° no° light°?
  Let him ctrust° in the name° of the LORD° and rely° on his God°.
  11 Behold°, all° you who akindle° a fire°,
  Who Iencircle° yourselves with firebrands°,
  Walk° in the light° of your fire°
  And among the brands° you have set° ablaze°.
  This° you will have° from My hand°:
  You will blie° down° in torment°.

Christ sheweth that the dereliction of the Jews is not to be imputed to him, by his ability to save,

1 ¶ Thus² saithºª the LORD,º Where² [is] the billº of your mother'sº divorcement,º whom² I have put away?ºª or² which² of my creditorsºª² [is it] to whom² I have soldºª you? Behold,² for your iniquitiesº have ye sold¹ª yourselves,² and for your transgressionsº is your motherº put away.ºª 2 Wherefore,² when I came,ºª [was there] no² man?º when I called,ºª [was there] none² to answer?ºª Is my handº shortened¹ª at all,ºª that it cannot redeem?º² or² have I no² powerº to deliver?ºª behold,² at my rebukeº I dry upºª the sea,º I makeºª the riversº a wilderness:º their fishº stinketh,ºª because [there is] no²² water,º and diethºª for thirst.º 3 I clotheºª the heavensº with blackness,º and I makeºª sackclothº their covering.º 4 The Lordº GODº hath givenºª me the tongueº of the learned,º that I should knowºª how to speak¹ª a word¹ in season²² to² [him that is] weary:º he wakenethºª morningº by morning,º he wakenethºª mine earº to hearºª as the learned.º

by his obedience in that work,

5 ¶ The Lordº GODº hath openedºª mine ear,º and I² was not² rebellious,ºª neither² turned awayºª back.º 6 I gaveºª my backº to the smiters,ºª and my cheeksº to them that plucked off¹ª the hair:² I hidºª not² my faceº from shameº² and spitting.º

and by his confidence in that assistance.

7 ¶ For the Lordº GODº will helpºª me; therefore²² shall I not² be confounded:ºª therefore²² have I setºª my faceº like a flint,º and I knowºª that² I shall not² be ashamed.ºª 8 [He is] nearº that justifiethºª me; who² will contendºª with² me? let us standºª together:º who² [is] mine adversary?ºº let him come nearºª to² me. 9 Behold,² the Lordº GODº will helpºª me; who² [is] he² [that] shall condemnºª me? lo,² they all² shall wax oldºª as a garment;º the mothº shall eat them up.ºª

An exhortation to trust in God, and not in ourselves.

10 ¶ Who² [is] among you that fearethº the LORD,º that obeyethºª the voiceº of his servant,º that² walkethºª [in] darkness,º and hath no² light?º let him trustºª in the nameº of the LORD,º and stayºª upon his God.º 11 Behold,² all² ye that kindleºª a fire,º that compass [yourselves] aboutºª with sparks:º walk¹ª² in the lightº of your fire,º and in the sparksº [that] ye have kindled.ºª This² shall ye have² of mine hand;º² ye shall lie downºª in sorrow.º
