| Isaiah 50:1
|
| JPS
| 50:1
| Thus saith the LORD:
Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement,
Wherewith I have put her away?
Or which of My creditors is it
To whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold,
And for your transgressions was your mother put away.
|
| TJBU
| 50:1
| Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of divorcement, which I gave to your congregation, that she is cast off? Or who is the man, who has a debt against me, unto whom I sold you? Behold, for your sins ye were sold, and for your rebellion your congregation was put away.

| Isaiah 50:2
|
| JPS
| 50:2
| 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 become foul, because there is no water,
And die for thirst.
|
| TJBU
| 50:2
| Wherefore have I sent my prophets, and they have not repented? They prophesied, but they obeyed not. Is my power altogether deficient, so that I cannot save? 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.

| The Lord GOD hath given me
The tongue of them that are taught,
That I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary;
He wakeneth morning by morning,
He wakeneth mine ear
To hear as they that are taught.
|
| TJBU
| 50:4
| The Lord God hath given me a tongue to teach, to give knowledge, and to instruct the righteous with wisdom, who weary themselves with the words of the law; each morning rising up early to send His prophets, that perhaps the ears of the sinners might be opened, and they might receive instruction.

Behold, they all shall wax old as a garment,
The moth shall eat them up.
|

| Isaiah 50:10
|
| JPS
| 50:10
| Who is among you that feareth the LORD,
That obeyeth the voice of His servant?

And hath no light,
Let him trust in the name of the LORD,
And stay upon his God.

| Isaiah 50:11
|
| JPS
| 50:11
| Behold, all ye that kindle a fire,
That gird yourselves with firebrands,
Begone in the flame of your fire,
And among the brands that ye have kindled.
This shall ye have of My hand;
Ye shall lie down in sorrow.
|
| TJBU
| 50:11
| The nations answered and said to him: O our Lord! it is not possible for us to occupy ourselves with the law; because we continually wage war against each other, and when we gain the vic tory one over the other, we bum their houses with fire, and bring their children and their treasures into captivity, and in this manner our days are spent; thus it is impossible for us to occupy our selves with the law. The Holy One, blessed be He, answered and said unto them: Behold, all of you who stir up a fire, and lay hold on the sword; go ye, fall into the fire which ye have stirred up, and by the sword, which ye have laid hold on. This shall be unto you from my Word, ye shall turn to your destruction.
