Isaiah 50:1-6

50:1

certificate <05612> [the bill.]

creditors <05383> [or which.]

sins <05771> [Behold.]

Husbands often sent bills of divorcement to their wives on slight occasions; and fathers, oppressed with debt, sold their children till the year of release. But this, saith God, cannot be my case: I am not governed by any such motives, nor am I urged by any such necessity. Your captivity and afflictions are the fruits of your own folly and wickedness.

sins <05771> [for your iniquities.]


50:2

come <0935> [when I came.]

hand <03027> [Is my.]

power <03581> [have I.]

shout <01606> [at my.]

dry up <02717> [I dry.]

fish <01710> [their fish.]


50:3


50:4

Lord <03069> [God.]

<01697> [a word.]

50:5


50:6

offered <05414> [gave.]

jaws <03895> [my cheeks.]

The eastern people always held the beard in great veneration; and to pluck a man's beard is one of the grossest indignities that can be offered. D'Arvieux gives a remarkable instance of an Arab, who, having received a wound in his jaw, chose to hazard his life rather than suffer the surgeon to cut off his beard. See Note on 2 Sa 10:4.

out ... beard <04803> [that plucked.]

hide <05641> [I hid.]

Another instance of the utmost contempt and detestation. Throughout the East it is highly offensive to spit in any one's presence; and if this is such an indignity, how much more spitting in the face?
