God Helps His Servant

1An ancient rabbi suggested this as an answer that God gave to Isaiah in response to Jews who came to him, but refused to repent. They compared themselves to a wife divorced by her husband and to a slave sold by his master (referring to God as husband and master), claiming that they had no further obligations to God.The Lord declares this;

“Where is the certificate of divorce

By which I have sent your mother away, [O Israel]?

Or to which one of My creditors did I sell you [as slaves]?

In fact, You were sold for your wickedness [your sin, your injustice, your wrongdoing],

And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

2Why, when I came, was there no man [to greet Me]?

When I called, why was there no one to answer?

Is My hand really so short that it cannot redeem [My servants]?

Or have I no power to rescue?

Listen carefully, with My rebuke I dry up the sea,

I make the rivers into a desert;

Their fish stink because there is no water

And die of thirst.

3I clothe the heavens with the blackness [of storm clouds]

And make sackcloth [of mourning] their clothing.”

4The Lord God has given Me [His I.e. the Messiah.Servant] the tongue of disciples [as One who is taught],

That I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.

He awakens Me morning by morning,

He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple [as One who is taught].

5The Lord God has opened My ear,

And I have not been rebellious

Nor have I turned back.

6I turned My back to those who strike Me,

And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;

I did not hide My face from insults and spitting.

7For the Lord God helps Me,

Therefore, I have not been ashamed or humiliated.

Therefore, I have made My face like flint,

And I know that I shall not be put to shame.

8He who declares Me in the right is near;

Who will [dare to] contend with Me?

Let us stand up to each other;

Who is My adversary?

Let him approach Me.

9In fact, the Lord God helps Me;

Who is he who condemns Me [as guilty]?

Indeed, they will all wear out like a garment;

The moth will eat them.

10Who is among you who fears the Lord,

Who obeys the voice of His Servant,

Yet who walks in darkness and has no light?

Let him trust and be confident in the name of the Lord and let him rely on his God.

11Listen carefully, all you who kindle your own fire [devising your own man-made plan of salvation],

Who surround yourselves with torches,

Walk by the light of your [self-made] fire

And among the torches that you have set ablaze.

But this you will have from My hand:

You will lie down in [a place of] torment.
