Isaiah 50 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

50 1 The Jews forsaken for a time. 2 Yet the power of God is not diminished. 5 Christ’s obedience and victory.

¹ Thus saith the Lord, Where is that ^[a]bill of your mother’s divorcement, ^[b]whom I have cast off? or who is the creditor ^[c]to whom I sold you? Behold, for your iniquities are ye sold, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.

^2 [d]Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so ^[e]shortened, that it cannot help? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea: I make the floods desert; their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.

³ I clothe the heavens with darkness, and make a ^[f]sack their covering.

⁴ The Lord God hath given ^[g]me a tongue of the learned, that I should know to minister a word in time to him that is ^[h]weary; he will raise me up in the morning, in the morning he will waken mine ear to hear, ^[i]as the learned.

⁵ The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned I back.

⁶ I gave my back unto the ^[j]smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

⁷ For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

⁸ He is near that justifieth me: who will contend with me? Let us stand together? who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

⁹ Behold, the Lord God will help me: who is he that can condemn me? lo, they shall wax old as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.

^10 [k]Who is among you that feareth the Lord? let him hear the voice of his servant: he that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.

¹¹ Behold, all you kindle ^[l]a fire, and are compassed about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand: ye shall lie down in sorrow.
