## Isaiah 50:5-10 in Context (Verses 2–11 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/2) Wherefore, when I came, *was there* no man? 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? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because *there is* no water, and dieth for thirst.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/3) I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/4) The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to *him that is* weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/5) ¶ The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/6) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/7) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/8) *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 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/9) Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who *is* he *that* shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/10) ¶ Who *is* among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh *in* darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/isaiah/50/11) Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass *yourselves* 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.
 
[Isaiah 49](/kjv/isaiah/49) [Isaiah 51](/kjv/isaiah/51)
