Castigo de Israel por su pecado

50 Esto dice el SEÑOR:
«Ustedes afirman que por caprichoso
    me divorcié de Jerusalén, la mamá de ustedes.
Pero, ¿dónde está el documento
    que prueba que los divorcié sin motivo alguno?
¿Piensan ustedes que los vendí a ustedes como esclavos
    porque no los podía mantener?
Nada de eso.
    Yo los vendí a ustedes por pecadores,
y, sí, abandoné a su mamá
    por lo rebeldes que son ustedes.
¿Por qué no había nadie cuando yo llegué?
    ¿Por qué nadie contestó a mi llamado?
¿Es mi brazo tan corto que no es capaz de salvarlos?
    ¿Es que no tengo fuerzas para rescatarlos?
Yo sequé el mar con una orden,
    y convertí los ríos en desiertos.
Los peces se asfixiaron por falta de agua,
    y murieron de sed.

Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience

50 This is what the Lord says:

“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce(A)
    with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors
    did I sell(B) you?
Because of your sins(C) you were sold;(D)
    because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.
When I came, why was there no one?
    When I called, why was there no one to answer?(E)
Was my arm too short(F) to deliver you?
    Do I lack the strength(G) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke(H) I dry up the sea,(I)
    I turn rivers into a desert;(J)
their fish rot for lack of water
    and die of thirst.

The Servant, Israel’s Hope

50 Thus says the Lord:

“Where is (A)the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
Whom I have put away?
Or which of My (B)creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
For your iniquities (C)you have sold yourselves,
And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
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 (D)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
