Isa. 50:1 The Jewish exiles feel abandoned (see 40:27; 49:14). But their hardships are not due to God’s failure. They sinned their way into exile.
Isa. 50:2–3 I dry up the sea. See Ex. 14:21; 15:8.
Isa. 50:4–9 This is the third of four Servant Songs, which anticipate the Messiah (see note on 42:1–9). This song focuses on the servant as a rejected prophet.
Isa. 50:4–51:8 The listening servant will sustain his listening people with a salvation that will last forever.
Isa. 50:4 The Lord God. This title appears four times in this song (vv. 4, 5, 7, 9). The power of God takes the form of a servant. he awakens my ear. Unlike the guilty silence of God’s people (v. 2), the servant is responsive to God’s word (compare 48:8).
Isa. 50:6 those who strike. The description of the servant’s rejection intensifies as the Servant Songs progress (49:7; 50:6; 52:14–53:9).
Isa. 50:7 my face like a flint. The servant chose his sufferings willingly. He moves forward with determination, confident in God’s overruling help.
Isa. 50:8–9 As 53:4–6 will make clear, the servant did not suffer because he was guilty but because others were guilty.
