Isaiah 50:1-5

New King James Version

“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.
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 ^(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.
^3 (E)I clothe the heavens with blackness,
^(F)And I make sackcloth their covering.”

⁴ “The^(G) 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 ^(H)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
⁵ The Lord God ^(I)has opened My ear;
And I was not ^(J)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
