NASB Bible

Isaiah 50

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."

4

The Lord  1GOD has given Me the tongue of  adisciples, 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 am  bnot disgraced; 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 us  bstand up to each other; Who has a case against 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  1encircle 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.
