Isaiah 50:1, REV Bible and Commentary

This is what Yahweh says:
“Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce
with which I have put her away?
Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities were you sold,
and for your transgressions
your mother was put away.

“This is what Yahweh says.” In Isaiah 50, the first three verses (Isa. 50:1-3), and the last two (Isa. 50:10-11), are Yahweh speaking. The middle verses, Isaiah 50:4-9, are the Messiah speaking.

“divorce.” Israel sinned so egregiously that God divorced her (cp. Jer. 3:8).
