Isaiah 50 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Isa 50:1

Isa 50:1Thus said Jehovah: 'Where is this -- the bill of your mother's divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Lo, for your iniquities ye have been sold, And for your transgressions Hath your mother been sent away.

Isa 50:2

Isa 50:2Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

Isa 50:3

Isa 50:3I clothe the heavens with blackness, And sackcloth I make their covering.

Isa 50:4

Isa 50:4The Lord Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary by a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.

Isa 50:5

Isa 50:5The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not -- backward I moved not.

Isa 50:6

Isa 50:6My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.

Isa 50:7

Isa 50:7And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.

Isa 50:8

Isa 50:8Near is He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who is mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.

Isa 50:9

Isa 50:9Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who is he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

Isa 50:10

Isa 50:10Who is among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

Isa 50:11

Isa 50:11Lo, all ye kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk ye in the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused to burn, From my hand hath this been to you, In grief ye lie down!
