Isaiah 50
Ready to read
1
"I will fully satisfy the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people will be satisfied with My goodness," says the LORD.
2
Thus says the LORD, "A[3] voice is heard in Ramah, Lamentation (songs of mourning) and bitter weeping. Rachel (Israel) is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, Because they are gone."
3
Thus says the LORD, "Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears, For your work will be rewarded," says the LORD; "And your children will return from the enemy's land.
4
"There is [confident] hope for your future," says the LORD; "Your children will come back to their own country.
5
"I have surely heard Ephraim (Israel) moaning and grieving, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, Like a bull unaccustomed to the yoke or an untrained calf; Bring me back that I may be restored, For You are the LORD my God.
6
'After I turned away [from You], I repented; After I was instructed, I struck my thigh [in remorse]; I was ashamed and even humiliated Because I carried the disgrace of my youth [as a nation].'
7
"Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a darling and beloved child? For as often as I have spoken against him, I certainly still remember him. Therefore My affection is renewed and My heart longs for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says the LORD.
8
"Place for yourself road signs [toward Canaan], Make for yourself guideposts; Turn your thought and attention to the highway, To the way by which you went [into exile]. Retrace your steps, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.
9
"How long will you hesitate [to return], O you faithless and renegade daughter? For the LORD has created a[4] new thing in the land [of Israel]: A woman will encompass (tenderly love) a man."
10
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Once more they will speak these words in the land of Judah (the Southern Kingdom) and in her cities when I restore their fortunes and release them from exile, 'The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice and righteousness, O holy mountain!'
11
And [the people of] Judah and all its cities will live there together—the farmer and they who wander about with flocks.
