Isaiah 50:2 in Context — Isaiah 50

1 Assim diz o SENHOR: Onde está a carta de divórcio de vossa mãe, com que eu a mandei embora? Ou a qual dos meus credores foi que eu vos vendi? Eis que por vossas maldades fostes vendidos, e por vossas transgressões vossa mãe foi expulsa.

2 Por que razão quando eu vim ninguém apareceu? Chamei, e ninguém respondeu. Por acaso minha mão se encurtou tanto, que já não posso resgatar? Ou não há [mais] poder em mim para livrar? Eis que com minha repreensão faço secar o mar, torno os rios em deserto, até federem seus peixes por não haver água, e morrem de sede.

3 Eu visto aos céus de negro, e ponho um saco como sua cobertura.

4 O Senhor DEUS me deu língua de instruídos, para que eu saiba falar no tempo devido uma [boa] palavra ao cansado; ele me desperta todas as manhãs, desperta o meu ouvido para que eu ouça como os instruídos.
