Today’s Word: Because The Sovereign Lord Helps Me, I Will Not Be Disgraced

Isaiah 50

Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience

  1. This is what the Lord says:

“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors did I sell you?
Because of your sins you were sold;
because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.

2 When I came, why was there no one?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Was my arm too short to deliver you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea I turn rivers into a desert
their fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.

3 I clothe the heavens with darkness
and make sackcloth its covering.”

4 The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.

5 The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears;
I have not been rebellious,I have not turned away.

6 I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.

7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.

8 He who vindicates me is near.Who then will bring charges against me?Let us face each other!
Who is my accuser?
