KJ3 Literal Translation
Isaiah 50
Christ shows that the dereliction of the Jews is not to be imputed to Him, by His ability to save, and by His confidence in that assistance.
1So says Jehovah, Where is the scroll of your mother's divorce whom I have put away? Or to which of My creditors that I have sold you to him? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
2Who knows why I have come, and no one is here? I called, and not one answered. Cutting short, is My hand cut short from ransom? Or is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea; I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because of no water, and die in thirst.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering.
4The Lord Jehovah has given to Me the tongue of learned ones, to know to help the weary with a word. He arouses in the morning; He wakens the ear to Me, to hear as the learned ones.
5The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear and I did not rebel; I did not turn away backwards.
6I gave My back to strikers, and My cheeks to pluckers; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
7And the Lord Jehovah will help Me. On account of this I was not ashamed. On account of tthis, I set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8He is near, My Justifier. Who will contend with Me? Let us stand up together. Who is master of My judgment? Let him come near to Me.
9Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help Me; who is He who will condemn Me? Behold, like a garment they shall wear out; the moth shall eat them.
10Who among you fears Jehovah, obeying the voice of His Servant, who walks in darkness, and no light is in Him? Let Him trust in the name of Jehovah, and lean on His God.
11Behold, all of you who kindle fire, who are surrounded by sparks; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks you are burning. This shall be to you from My hand; you shall lie down in pain.
