Isaiah Chapter 50
So God was like, “Where’s the paperwork for your mom’s split? Who did I hand you over to? No cap, you sold your own selves because of your sins, and that’s why your mom got ghosted.”
Thus saith the LORD, Where {is} the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors {is it} to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
So when I pulled up, where was the squad? I shouted out, and no one answered. Is my power sus or what? I can straight-up dry up the sea and turn rivers into deserts, while the fish struggle out here, dying for some water.
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 stinketh, because {there is} no water, and dieth for thirst.
I cloak the skies in total darkness, like, major vibe check, and throw sackcloth on as their outfit.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
God blessed me with the wisdom to drop gems, so I can speak to those who are worn out. Each morning, He’s like, “Time to wake up, listen up, I’ve got wisdom for you.”
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to {him that is} weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
God opened up my ears, and I wasn’t being defiant; I didn’t bounce back.
The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
I took the hits and let them mess with my face; I didn’t shy away from the shame or the spitting.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
God’s got my back, so I’m chilling; I’ve made my face like flint, and I know I won’t be humiliated.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
God’s close to me; who’s gonna come at me? Let’s vibe; who’s my rival? Bring it on.
{He is} near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who {is} mine adversary? let him come near to me. {mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?}
For real, the Lord’s got my six; who’s gonna call me out? They’ll vanish like old clothes, moths gonna eat ‘em alive.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who {is} he {that} shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Who here truly fears the Lord and listens to His servant, walking in the dark with no light? Trust in the Lord’s name and lean on your God.
Who {is} among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh {in} darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Yo, all you who are igniting fires and wrapping yourselves in flames: walk in the light of your fire and the sparks you’ve created. Here’s what you’ll get from me; you’ll end up feeling down.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass {yourselves} about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks {that} ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
