Isaiah 50 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Isa 50:1

Isa 50:1This is what the LORD says:
“Was your mother sent away because I divorced her?
Did I sell you as slaves to my creditors?
No, you were sold because of your sins.
And your mother, too, was taken because of your sins.

Isa 50:2

Isa 50:2Why was no one there when I came?
Why didn’t anyone answer when I called?
Is it because I have no power to rescue?
No, that is not the reason!
For I can speak to the sea and make it dry up!
I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish.

Isa 50:3

Isa 50:3I dress the skies in darkness,
covering them with clothes of mourning.”

The LORD’s Obedient Servant

Isa 50:4

Isa 50:4The Sovereign LORD has given me his words of wisdom,
so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
and opens my understanding to his will.

Isa 50:5

Isa 50:5The Sovereign LORD has spoken to me,
and I have listened.
I have not rebelled or turned away.

Isa 50:6

Isa 50:6I offered my back to those who beat me
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard.
I did not hide my face
from mockery and spitting.

Isa 50:7

Isa 50:7Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,
determined to do his will.
And I know that I will not be put to shame.

Isa 50:8

Isa 50:8He who gives me justice is near.
Who will dare to bring charges against me now?
Where are my accusers?
Let them appear!

Isa 50:9

Isa 50:9See, the Sovereign LORD is on my side!
Who will declare me guilty?
All my enemies will be destroyed
like old clothes that have been eaten by moths!

Isa 50:10

Isa 50:10Who among you fears the LORD
and obeys his servant?
If you are walking in darkness,
without a ray of light,
trust in the LORD
and rely on your God.

Isa 50:11

Isa 50:11But watch out, you who live in your own light
and warm yourselves by your own fires.
This is the reward you will receive from me:
You will soon fall down in great torment.
