Isaiah 50:1-3

God Helps His Servant

¹This is what the Lord says:

“Where is the certificate of divorce

By which I have sent your mother away?

Or to whom of My creditors did I sell you?

Behold, you were sold for your wrongdoings,

And for your wrongful acts your mother was sent away.

2“Why was there no one when I came?

When I called, why was there no one to answer?

Is My hand so short that it cannot redeem?

Or do I have no power to rescue?

Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke,

I turn rivers into a wilderness;

Their fish stink for lack of water,

And die of thirst.

3“I clothe the heavens with blackness,

And make sackcloth their covering.”
