ASV_Strong : Isaiah 50
1. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], Where is the bill[H5612] of your mother[H517]'s divorcement[H3748], wherewith I have put her away[H7971]? or which of my creditors[H5383] is it to whom I have sold[H4376] you[H5771]? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold[H4376], and for your transgressions[H6588] was your mother[H517] put away[H7971].
2. Wherefore[H935], when I came, was there no man[H376]? when I called[H7121], was there none to answer[H6030]? Is my hand[H3027] shortened[H7114] at all[H7114], that it cannot redeem[H6304]? or have I no power[H3581] to deliver[H5337]? Behold[H1606], at my rebuke I dry up[H2717] the sea[H3220], I make[H7760] the rivers[H5104] a wilderness[H4057]: their fish[H1710] stink[H887], because there is no water[H4325], and die[H4191] for thirst[H6772].
3. I clothe[H3847] the heavens[H8064] with blackness[H6940], and I make[H7760] sackcloth[H8242] their covering[H3682].
4. The Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136] hath given[H5414] me the tongue[H3956] of them that are taught[H3928], that I may know[H3045] how to sustain[H5790] with words[H1697] him that is weary[H3287]: he wakeneth[H5782] morning[H1242] by morning[H1242], he wakeneth[H5782] mine ear[H241] to hear[H8085] as they that are taught[H3928].
5. The Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069] hath opened[H6605] mine ear[H241], and I was not rebellious[H4784], neither turned away[H5472] backward[H268].
6. I gave[H5414] my back[H1460] to the smiters[H5221], and my cheeks[H3895] to them that plucked off[H4803] the hair[H5641]; I hid not my face[H6440] from shame[H3639] and spitting[H7536].
7. For the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069] will help[H5826] me[H3637]; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set[H7760] my face[H6440] like a flint[H2496], and I know[H3045] that I shall not be put to shame[H954].
8. He is near[H7138] that justifieth[H6663] me[H7378]; who will contend with me[H5975]? let us stand up together[H3162]: who is mine adversary[H1167]? let him come near to me[H5066].
9. Behold[H136], the Lord Jehovah[H3069] will help[H5826] me[H7561]; who is he that shall condemn me[H1086]? behold, all they shall wax old as a garment[H899], the moth[H6211] shall eat them up[H398].
10. Who is among you that feareth[H3373] Jehovah[H3068], that obeyeth[H8085] the voice[H6963] of his servant[H5650]? he that walketh[H1980] in darkness[H2825], and hath no light[H5051], let him trust[H982] in the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068], and rely[H8172] upon his God[H430].
11. Behold[H6919], all ye that kindle a fire[H784], that gird yourselves about[H247] with firebrands[H2131]; walk[H3212] ye in the flame[H217] of your fire[H784], and among the brands[H2131] that ye have kindled[H1197]. This shall ye have of my hand[H3027]; ye shall lie down[H7901] in sorrow[H4620].
