CHAPTER 50
The Servant, Israel’s Hope
The Messiah Is Israel’s Hope
​
1 Thus says the LORD:
​
​​“Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
​​Whom I have put away?
​​Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
​​For your iniquities you have sold yourselves,
​​And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
2 ​​Why, when I came, was there no man?
​​Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
​​Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
​​Or have I no power to deliver?
​​Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea,
​​I make the rivers a wilderness;
​​Their fish stink because there is no water,
​​And die of thirst.
3 ​​I clothe the heavens with blackness,
​​And I make sackcloth their covering.”
​
4 ​​“The Lord GOD has given Me
​​The tongue of the learned,
​​That I should know how to speak
​​A word in season to him who is weary.
​​He awakens Me morning by morning,
​​He awakens My ear
​​To hear as the learned.
5 ​​The Lord GOD has opened My ear;
​​And I was not rebellious,
​​Nor did I turn away.
6 ​​I gave My back to those who struck Me,
​​And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
​​I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
​
7 ​​“For the Lord GOD will help Me;
​​Therefore I will not be disgraced;
​​Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
​​And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 ​​He is near who justifies Me;
​​Who will contend with Me?
​​Let us stand together.
​​Who is My adversary?
​​Let him come near Me.
9 ​​Surely the Lord GOD will help Me;
​​Who is he who will condemn Me?
​​Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
​​The moth will eat them up.
​
10 ​​“Who among you fears the LORD?
​​Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
​​Who walks in darkness
​​And has no light?
​​Let him trust in the name of the LORD
​​And rely upon his God.
11 ​​Look, all you who kindle a fire,
​​Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
​​Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
​​This you shall have from My hand:
​​You shall lie down in torment.
