[ Read](/kjv/isaiah/50)[ Commentary](/study/isaiah/50)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/isaiah/50) Audio

 1 Thus saith the LORD, Where *is* the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors *is it* to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

 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 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

 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 ¶ The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

 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 ¶ 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* shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

 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 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](/study/isaiah/49) [Isaiah 51](/study/isaiah/51)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the {a} bill of your mother’s divorcement, {b} whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] {c} to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 

(a) Meaning, that he has not forsaken her, but through her own opportunity as in [Hosea 2:2](/kjv/hosea/2/2) . 

(b) Who would declare that I have cut her off: meaning, that they could show no one. 

(c) Signifying, that he sold them not for any debt or poverty, but that they sold themselves to sins to buy their own lusts and pleasures.
