Israel's Sin and the Servant's Obedience
“Where is gyour mother's certificate of divorce,
with which hI sent her away?
Or iwhich of my creditors is it
jBehold, for your iniquities you were sold,
and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 kWhy, when I came, was there no man;
why, when I called, was there no one to answer?
lIs my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
mBehold, by my rebuke nI dry up the sea,
oI make the rivers a desert;
ptheir fish stink for lack of water
3 qI clothe the heavens with blackness
and make sackcloth their covering.”
4 The Lord God has given rme
the tongue of those who are taught,
that sI may know how to sustain with a word
thim who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
to hear as those who are taught.
5 uThe Lord God has opened my ear,
vand I was not rebellious;
6 wI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
xtherefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
8 yHe who vindicates me is near.
9 zBehold, the Lord God helps me;
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
10 Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys athe voice of his servant?
bLet him who walks in darkness
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
who equip yourselves with burning torches!
Walk by the light of your fire,
and by the torches that you have kindled!
cThis you have from my hand:
