Isaiah 50:1--53:12

50:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Where [is] the bill
<05612>

of your mother's
<0517>

divorcement
<03748>_,

whom I have put away
<07971> (8765)_?

or which of my creditors
<05383> (8802)

[is it] to whom I have sold
<04376> (8804)

you? Behold, for your iniquities
<05771>

have ye sold
<04376> (8738)

yourselves, and for your transgressions
<06588>

is your mother
<0517>

put away
<07971> (8795)_.

50:2

Wherefore, when I came
<0935> (8804)_,

[was there] no man
<0376>_?

when I called
<07121> (8804)_,

[was there] none to answer
<06030> (8802)_?

Is my hand
<03027>

shortened
<07114> (8804)

at all
<07114> (8800)_,

that it cannot redeem
<06304>_?

or have I no power
<03581>

to deliver
<05337> (8687)_?

behold, at my rebuke
<01606>

I dry up
<02717> (8686)

the sea
<03220>_,

I make
<07760> (8799)

the rivers
<05104>

a wilderness
<04057>_:

their fish
<01710>

stinketh
<0887> (8799)_,

because [there is] no water
<04325>_,

and dieth
<04191> (8799)

for thirst
<06772>_.

50:3

I clothe
<03847> (8686)

the heavens
<08064>

with blackness
<06940>_,

and I make
<07760> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

their covering
<03682>_.

50:4

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me the tongue
<03956>

of the learned
<03928>_,

that I should know
<03045> (8800)

how to speak
<05790> (8800)

a word
<01697>

in season to [him that is] weary
<03287>_:

he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)

morning
<01242>

by morning
<01242>_,

he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)

mine ear
<0241>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

as the learned
<03928>_.

50:5

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath opened
<06605> (8804)

mine ear
<0241>_,

and I was not rebellious
<04784> (8804)_,

neither turned away
<05472> (8738)

back
<0268>_.

50:6

I gave
<05414> (8804)

my back
<01460>

to the smiters
<05221> (8688)_,

and my cheeks
<03895>

to them that plucked off
<04803> (8802)

the hair: I hid
<05641> (8689)

not my face
<06440>

from shame
<03639>

and spitting
<07536>_.

50:7

For the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will help
<05826> (8799)

me; therefore shall I not be confounded
<03637> (8738)_:

therefore have I set
<07760> (8804)

my face
<06440>

like a flint
<02496>_,

and I know
<03045> (8799)

that I shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.

50:8

[He is] near
<07138>

that justifieth
<06663> (8688)

me; who will contend
<07378> (8799)

with me? let us stand
<05975> (8799)

together
<03162>_:

who [is] mine adversary
<01167> <04941>_?

let him come near
<05066> (8799)

to me. {mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?}

50:9

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will help
<05826> (8799)

me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn
<07561> (8686)

me? lo, they all shall wax old
<01086> (8799)

as a garment
<0899>_;

the moth
<06211>

shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)_.

50:10

Who [is] among you that feareth
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

that obeyeth
<08085> (8802)

the voice
<06963>

of his servant
<05650>_,

that walketh
<01980> (8804)

[in] darkness
<02825>_,

and hath no light
<05051>_?

let him trust
<0982> (8799)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and stay
<08172> (8735)

upon his God
<0430>_.

50:11

Behold, all ye that kindle
<06919> (8802)

a fire
<0784>_,

that compass [yourselves] about
<0247> (8764)

with sparks
<02131>_:

walk
<03212> (8798)

in the light
<0217>

of your fire
<0784>_,

and in the sparks
<02131>

[that] ye have kindled
<01197> (8765)_.

This shall ye have of mine hand
<03027>_;

ye shall lie down
<07901> (8799)

in sorrow
<04620>_.

51:1

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

to me, ye that follow after
<07291> (8802)

righteousness
<06664>_,

ye that seek
<01245> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>_:

look
<05027> (8685)

unto the rock
<06697>

[whence] ye are hewn
<02672> (8795)_,

and to the hole
<04718>

of the pit
<0953>

[whence] ye are digged
<05365> (8795)_.

51:2

Look
<05027> (8685)

unto Abraham
<085>

your father
<01>_,

and unto Sarah
<08283>

[that] bare
<02342> (8787)

you: for I called
<07121> (8804)

him alone
<0259>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and increased
<07235> (8686)

him.

51:3

For the LORD
<03068>

shall comfort
<05162> (8765)

Zion
<06726>_:

he will comfort
<05162> (8765)

all her waste places
<02723>_;

and he will make
<07760> (8799)

her wilderness
<04057>

like Eden
<05731>_,

and her desert
<06160>

like the garden
<01588>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

joy
<08342>

and gladness
<08057>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

therein, thanksgiving
<08426>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of melody
<02172>_.

51:4

Hearken
<07181> (8685)

unto me, my people
<05971>_;

and give ear
<0238> (8685)

unto me, O my nation
<03816>_:

for a law
<08451>

shall proceed
<03318> (8799)

from me, and I will make my judgment
<04941>

to rest
<07280> (8686)

for a light
<0216>

of the people
<05971>_.

51:5

My righteousness
<06664>

[is] near
<07138>_;

my salvation
<03468>

is gone forth
<03318> (8804)_,

and mine arms
<02220>

shall judge
<08199> (8799)

the people
<05971>_;

the isles
<0339>

shall wait
<06960> (8762)

upon me, and on mine arm
<02220>

shall they trust
<03176> (8762)_.

51:6

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

your eyes
<05869>

to the heavens
<08064>_,

and look
<05027> (8685)

upon the earth
<0776>

beneath: for the heavens
<08064>

shall vanish away
<04414> (8738)

like smoke
<06227>_,

and the earth
<0776>

shall wax old
<01086> (8799)

like a garment
<0899>_,

and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein shall die
<04191> (8799)

in like
<03644>

manner
<03654>_:

but my salvation
<03444>

shall be for ever
<05769>_,

and my righteousness
<06666>

shall not be abolished
<02865> (8735)_.

51:7

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye that know
<03045> (8802)

righteousness
<06664>_,

the people
<05971>

in whose heart
<03820>

[is] my law
<08451>_;

fear
<03372> (8799)

ye not the reproach
<02781>

of men
<0582>_,

neither be ye afraid
<02865> (8735)

of their revilings
<01421>_.

51:8

For the moth
<06211>

shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)

like a garment
<0899>_,

and the worm
<05580>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

them like wool
<06785>_:

but my righteousness
<06666>

shall be for ever
<05769>_,

and my salvation
<03444>

from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>_.

51:9

Awake
<05782> (8798)_,

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

put on
<03847> (8798)

strength
<05797>_,

O arm
<02220>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

as in the ancient
<06924>

days
<03117>_,

in the generations
<01755>

of old
<05769>_.

[Art] thou not it that hath cut
<02672> (8688)

Rahab
<07294>_,

[and] wounded
<02490> (8781)

the dragon
<08577>_?

51:10

[Art] thou not it which hath dried
<02717> (8688)

the sea
<03220>_,

the waters
<04325>

of the great
<07227>

deep
<08415>_;

that hath made
<07760> (8804)

the depths
<04615>

of the sea
<03220>

a way
<01870>

for the ransomed
<01350> (8803)

to pass over
<05674> (8800)_?

51:11

Therefore the redeemed
<06299> (8803)

of the LORD
<03068>

shall return
<07725> (8799)_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

with singing
<07440>

unto Zion
<06726>_;

and everlasting
<05769>

joy
<08057>

[shall be] upon their head
<07218>_:

they shall obtain
<05381> (8686)

gladness
<08342>

and joy
<08057>_;

[and] sorrow
<03015>

and mourning
<0585>

shall flee away
<05127> (8804)_.

51:12

I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth
<05162> (8764)

you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of a man
<0582>

[that] shall die
<04191> (8799)_,

and of the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

[which] shall be made
<05414> (8735)

[as] grass
<02682>_;

51:13

And forgettest
<07911> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

thy maker
<06213> (8802)_,

that hath stretched forth
<05186> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and laid the foundations
<03245> (8801)

of the earth
<0776>_;

and hast feared
<06342> (8762)

continually
<08548>

every day
<03117>

because
<06440>

of the fury
<02534>

of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_,

as if
<0834>

he were ready
<03559> (8790)

to destroy
<07843> (8687)_?

and where [is] the fury
<02534>

of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_?

{were...: or, made himself ready}

51:14

The captive exile
<06808> (8802)

hasteneth
<04116> (8765)

that he may be loosed
<06605> (8736)_,

and that he should not die
<04191> (8799)

in the pit
<07845>_,

nor that his bread
<03899>

should fail
<02637> (8799)_.

51:15

But I [am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

that divided
<07280> (8802)

the sea
<03220>_,

whose waves
<01530>

roared
<01993> (8799)_:

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

51:16

And I have put
<07760> (8799)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>_,

and I have covered
<03680> (8765)

thee in the shadow
<06738>

of mine hand
<03027>_,

that I may plant
<05193> (8800)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and lay the foundations
<03245> (8800)

of the earth
<0776>_,

and say
<0559> (8800)

unto Zion
<06726>_,

Thou [art] my people
<05971>_.

51:17

Awake
<05782> (8708)_,

awake
<05782> (8708)_,

stand up
<06965> (8798)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which hast drunk
<08354> (8804)

at the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

the cup
<03563>

of his fury
<02534>_;

thou hast drunken
<08354> (8804)

the dregs
<06907>

of the cup
<03563>

of trembling
<08653>_,

[and] wrung [them] out
<04680> (8804)_.

51:18

[There is] none to guide
<05095> (8764)

her among all the sons
<01121>

[whom] she hath brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;

neither [is there any] that taketh
<02388> (8688)

her by the hand
<03027>

of all the sons
<01121>

[that] she hath brought up
<01431> (8765)_.

51:19

These two
<08147>

[things] are come
<07122> (8802)

unto thee; who shall be sorry
<05110> (8799)

for thee? desolation
<07701>_,

and destruction
<07667>_,

and the famine
<07458>_,

and the sword
<02719>_:

by whom shall I comfort
<05162> (8762)

thee? {are...: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

51:20

Thy sons
<01121>

have fainted
<05968> (8795)_,

they lie
<07901> (8804)

at the head
<07218>

of all the streets
<02351>_,

as a wild bull
<08377>

in a net
<04364>_:

they are full
<04392>

of the fury
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the rebuke
<01606>

of thy God
<0430>_.

51:21

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)

now this, thou afflicted
<06041>_,

and drunken
<07937> (8803)_,

but not with wine
<03196>_:

51:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

thy Lord
<0113>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy God
<0430>

[that] pleadeth
<07378> (8799)

the cause of his people
<05971>_,

Behold, I have taken out
<03947> (8804)

of thine hand
<03027>

the cup
<03563>

of trembling
<08653>_,

[even] the dregs
<06907>

of the cup
<03563>

of my fury
<02534>_;

thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

drink it again
<08354> (8800)_:

51:23

But I will put
<07760> (8804)

it into the hand
<03027>

of them that afflict
<03013> (8688)

thee; which have said
<0559> (8804)

to thy soul
<05315>_,

Bow down
<07812> (8798)_,

that we may go over
<05674> (8799)_:

and thou hast laid
<07760> (8799)

thy body
<01460>

as the ground
<0776>_,

and as the street
<02351>_,

to them that went over
<05674> (8802)_.

52:1

Awake
<05782> (8798)_,

awake
<05782> (8798)_;

put on
<03847> (8798)

thy strength
<05797>_,

O Zion
<06726>_;

put on
<03847> (8798)

thy beautiful
<08597>

garments
<0899>_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the holy
<06944>

city
<05892>_:

for henceforth there shall no more
<03254> (8686)

come
<0935> (8799)

into thee the uncircumcised
<06189>

and the unclean
<02931>_.

52:2

Shake
<05287> (8690)

thyself from the dust
<06083>_;

arise
<06965> (8798)_,

[and] sit down
<03427> (8798)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_:

loose
<06605> (8690)

thyself from the bands
<04147>

of thy neck
<06677>_,

O captive
<07628>

daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

52:3

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye have sold
<04376> (8738)

yourselves for nought
<02600>_;

and ye shall be redeemed
<01350> (8735)

without money
<03701>_.

52:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

My people
<05971>

went down
<03381> (8804)

aforetime
<07223>

into Egypt
<04714>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

there; and the Assyrian
<0804>

oppressed
<06231> (8804)

them without cause
<0657>_.

52:5

Now therefore, what have I here, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that my people
<05971>

is taken away
<03947> (8795)

for nought
<02600>_?

they that rule
<04910> (8802)

over them make them to howl
<03213> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and my name
<08034>

continually
<08548>

every day
<03117>

[is] blasphemed
<05006> (8711)_.

52:6

Therefore my people
<05971>

shall know
<03045> (8799)

my name
<08034>_:

therefore [they shall know] in that day
<03117>

that I [am] he that doth speak
<01696> (8764)_:

behold, [it is] I.

52:7

How beautiful
<04998> (8773)

upon the mountains
<02022>

are the feet
<07272>

of him that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

that publisheth
<08085> (8688)

peace
<07965>_;

that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)

of good
<02896>_,

that publisheth
<08085> (8688)

salvation
<03444>_;

that saith
<0559> (8802)

unto Zion
<06726>_,

Thy God
<0430>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_!

52:8

Thy watchmen
<06822> (8802)

shall lift up
<05375> (8804)

the voice
<06963>_;

with the voice
<06963>

together
<03162>

shall they sing
<07442> (8762)_:

for they shall see
<07200> (8799)

eye
<05869>

to eye
<05869>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

shall bring again
<07725> (8800)

Zion
<06726>_.

52:9

Break forth into joy
<06476> (8798)_,

sing
<07442> (8761)

together
<03162>_,

ye waste places
<02723>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath comforted
<05162> (8765)

his people
<05971>_,

he hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>_.

52:10

The LORD
<03068>

hath made bare
<02834> (8804)

his holy
<06944>

arm
<02220>

in the eyes
<05869>

of all the nations
<01471>_;

and all the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

the salvation
<03444>

of our God
<0430>_.

52:11

Depart
<05493> (8798)

ye, depart
<05493> (8798)

ye, go ye out
<03318> (8798)

from thence, touch
<05060> (8799)

no unclean
<02931>

[thing]; go ye out
<03318> (8798)

of the midst
<08432>

of her; be ye clean
<01305> (8734)_,

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the vessels
<03627>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

52:12

For ye shall not go out
<03318> (8799)

with haste
<02649>_,

nor go
<03212> (8799)

by flight
<04499>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

will go
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

you; and the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

[will be] your rereward
<0622> (8764)_.

{be...: Heb. gather you up}

52:13

Behold, my servant
<05650>

shall deal prudently
<07919> (8686)_,

he shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)

and extolled
<05375> (8738)_,

and be very
<03966>

high
<01361> (8804)_.

{deal...: or, prosper}

52:14

As many
<07227>

were astonied
<08074> (8804)

at thee; his visage
<04758>

was so marred
<04893>

more than any man
<0376>_,

and his form
<08389>

more than the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_:

52:15

So shall he sprinkle
<05137> (8686)

many
<07227>

nations
<01471>_;

the kings
<04428>

shall shut
<07092> (8799)

their mouths
<06310>

at him: for [that] which had not been told
<05608> (8795)

them shall they see
<07200> (8804)_;

and [that] which they had not heard
<08085> (8804)

shall they consider
<0995> (8712)_.

53:1

Who hath believed
<0539> (8689)

our report
<08052>_?

and to whom is the arm
<02220>

of the LORD
<03068>

revealed
<01540> (8738)_?

{report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}

53:2

For he shall grow up
<05927> (8799)

before
<06440>

him as a tender plant
<03126>_,

and as a root
<08328>

out of a dry
<06723>

ground
<0776>_:

he hath no form
<08389>

nor comeliness
<01926>_;

and when we shall see
<07200> (8799)

him, [there is] no beauty
<04758>

that we should desire
<02530> (8799)

him.

53:3

He is despised
<0959> (8737)

and rejected
<02310>

of men
<0376>_;

a man
<0376>

of sorrows
<04341>_,

and acquainted
<03045> (8803)

with grief
<02483>_:

and we hid as it were
<04564> (8688)

[our] faces
<06440>

from him; he was despised
<0959> (8737)_,

and we esteemed
<02803> (8804)

him not. {we hid...: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}

53:4

Surely
<0403>

he hath borne
<05375> (8804)

our griefs
<02483>_,

and carried
<05445> (8804)

our sorrows
<04341>_:

yet we did esteem
<02803> (8804)

him stricken
<05060> (8803)_,

smitten
<05221> (8716)

of God
<0430>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8794)_.

53:5

But he [was] wounded
<02490> (8775)

for our transgressions
<06588>_,

[he was] bruised
<01792> (8794)

for our iniquities
<05771>_:

the chastisement
<04148>

of our peace
<07965>

[was] upon him; and with his stripes
<02250>

we are healed
<07495> (8738)_.

{wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}

53:6

All we like sheep
<06629>

have gone astray
<08582> (8804)_;

we have turned
<06437> (8804)

every one
<0376>

to his own way
<01870>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath laid
<06293> (8689)

on him the iniquity
<05771>

of us all. {laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}

53:7

He was oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,

and he was afflicted
<06031> (8737)_,

yet he opened
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>_:

he is brought
<02986> (8714)

as a lamb
<07716>

to the slaughter
<02874>_,

and as a sheep
<07353>

before
<06440>

her shearers
<01494> (8802)

is dumb
<0481> (8738)_,

so he openeth
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>_.

53:8

He was taken
<03947> (8795)

from prison
<06115>

and from judgment
<04941>_:

and who shall declare
<07878> (8787)

his generation
<01755>_?

for he was cut off
<01504> (8738)

out of the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_:

for the transgression
<06588>

of my people
<05971>

was he stricken
<05061>_.

{from prison...: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he...: Heb. was the stroke upon him}

53:9

And he made
<05414> (8799)

his grave
<06913>

with the wicked
<07563>_,

and with the rich
<06223>

in his death
<04194>_;

because he had done
<06213> (8804)

no violence
<02555>_,

neither [was any] deceit
<04820>

in his mouth
<06310>_.

{death: Heb. deaths}

53:10

Yet it pleased
<02654> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to bruise
<01792> (8763)

him; he hath put [him] to grief
<02470> (8689)_:

when thou shalt make
<07760> (8799)

his soul
<05315>

an offering for sin
<0817>_,

he shall see
<07200> (8799)

[his] seed
<02233>_,

he shall prolong
<0748> (8686)

[his] days
<03117>_,

and the pleasure
<02656>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall prosper
<06743> (8799)

in his hand
<03027>_.

{thou...: or, his soul shall make an offering}

53:11

He shall see
<07200> (8799)

of the travail
<05999>

of his soul
<05315>_,

[and] shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:

by his knowledge
<01847>

shall my righteous
<06662>

servant
<05650>

justify
<06663> (8686)

many
<07227>_;

for he shall bear
<05445> (8799)

their iniquities
<05771>_.

53:12

Therefore will I divide
<02505> (8762)

him [a portion] with the great
<07227>_,

and he shall divide
<02505> (8762)

the spoil
<07998>

with the strong
<06099>_;

because he hath poured out
<06168> (8689)

his soul
<05315>

unto death
<04194>_:

and he was numbered
<04487> (8738)

with the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_;

and he bare
<05375> (8804)

the sin
<02399>

of many
<07227>_,

and made intercession
<06293> (8686)

for the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.
