Isaiah 50

1This is what Yahweh says, 2Why did I come but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered? 3I clothe the sky with darkness; I cover it with sackcloth.” 4The Lord Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught, 5The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear, 6I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; 7For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced; 8He who will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another. 9See, the Lord Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty? 10Who among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant?
