Isaiah 50

YHWH challenges Israel, asking for proof of divorce from their mother (Zion), asserting no such bill exists as their separation stems from their own iniquities, not His abandonment, and demonstrates His power to redeem by drying seas and darkening heavens.[1][2][3] The Servant, with ear opened by Adonai YHWH, submits obediently, enduring beatings, beard-plucking, and spitting without rebellion, setting his face like flint in trust of divine help; YHWH warns those fearing Him to trust the Servant, while self-reliant fire-kindlers face torment.[1][2][4]
