Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience

1 Thus says the Lord: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce, with which I sent her away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away. (De 24:1; 2Ki 4:1; Isa 59:2; Jer 3:8; Ho 2:2; Mt 18:25)

De 24:12Ki 4:1Isa 59:2Jer 3:8Ho 2:2Mt 18:25

2 Why, when I came, was there no man; why, when I called, was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink for lack of water and die of thirst. (Ex 7:18; Ex 7:21; Ex 14:21; Nu 11:23; Jos 3:16; Ps 104:7; Ps 106:9; Isa 19:5; Isa 42:18; Isa 59:1; Na 1:4)

3 I clothe the heavens with blackness and make sackcloth their covering.” (Jer 14:22; Re 6:12) 4 The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. (Ex 4:11; Isa 40:1; Mt 11:28) 5 The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward. (Ps 40:6; Joh 14:31; Php 2:8; Heb 5:8; Heb 10:7)

Ps 40:6Joh 14:31Php 2:8Heb 5:8Heb 10:7

6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting. (Isa 53:5; Mt 26:67; Mt 27:26; Mr 15:19; Lu 22:63)

7 But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. (Eze 3:8) 8 He who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. (Ro 8:33) 9 Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up. (Isa 41:10) 10 Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. (Isa 42:16; Isa 49:2; Isa 50:4; Mic 7:8)

Isa 42:16Isa 49:2Isa 50:4Mic 7:8

11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who equip yourselves with burning torches! Walk by the light of your fire, and by the torches that you have kindled! This you have from my hand: you shall lie down in torment. (Joh 9:39)

الكتاب المقدس

خطيئة إسرائيل وطاعة الخادم

1 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلاقِ أُمِّكُمُ الَّذِي طَلَّقْتُهَا بِهِ؟ لِمَنْ مِنْ دَائِنِيَّ بِعْتُكُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ قَدْ تَمَّ بَيْعُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطَايَاكُمْ قَدْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ. 2 فَمَالِي إِذاً حِينَ أَتَيْتُ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَداً؟ نَادَيْتُ وَلا مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ هَلْ قَصَرَتْ يَدِي عَنِ الْفِدَاءِ؟ أَمْ لَمْ تَعُدْ لِي طَاقَةٌ عَلَى الإِنْقَاذِ؟ هَا أَنَا بِزَجْرَتِي أُجَفِّفُ الْبَحْرَ وَأُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى صَحْرَاءَ يُنْتِنُ سَمَكُهَا لِخُلُوِّهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَيَمُوتُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ. 3 أُغَلِّفُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بالظُّلْمَةِ وَأَجْعَلُ الْمِسْحَ غِطَاءً لَهَا. 4 السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَهَبَنِي مَنْطِقَ الْعُلَمَاءِ لأَعْرِفَ كَيْفَ أُغِيثُ الْمُتْعَبَ بِكَلِمَةٍ، يُنَبِّهُنِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، وَيُرْهِفُ أُذُنِي حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ بِانْتِبَاهِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِينَ. 5 قَدْ فَتَحَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أُذُنِي فَلَمْ أُعَانِدْ أَوْ أَتَرَاجَعْ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ 6 بَذَلْتُ ظَهْرِي لِلضَّارِبِينَ، وَخَدَّيَّ لِلنَّاتِفِينَ، وَلَمْ أَحْجُبْ وَجْهِي عَنِ الإِهَانَةِ وَالْبَصْقِ. 7 لأَنَّ السَّيِّدَ الرَّبَّ يُغِيثُنِي فَلا أَخْزَى، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي كَالصَّوَّانِ، لأَنِّي عَالِمٌ أَنَّنِي لَنْ أَخْزَى. 8 إِنَّ مُنْصِفِي قَرِيبٌ، فَمَنْ إِذاً يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ فَلْنَمْثُلْ مَعاً. مَنْ هُوَ خَصْمِي؟ فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مِنِّي. 9 انْظُرُوا، هَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ يُغِيثُنِي فَمَنْ يَسْتَذْنِبُنِي؟ هَا هُمْ جَمِيعاً كَثَوْبٍ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَأْكُلُهُمُ الْعُثُّ. 10 مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ وَيُطِيعُ صَوْتَ خَادِمِهِ؟ مَنِ الَّذِي يَسْلُكُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ نُورٍ؟ فَلْيَتَّكِلْ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَيَعْتَمِدْ عَلَى إِلَهِهِ. 11 انْظُرُوا، يَا جَمِيعَ مُوْقِدِي النَّارِ، الَّذِينَ يُضِيئُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَشَاعِلَ، سِيرُوا فِي نُورِ نِيرَانِكُمْ، وَعَلَى وَهْجِ مَشَاعِلِكُمُ الَّتِي أَوْقَدْتُمُوهَا، وَهَذَا مَا تَنَالُونَهُ مِنْ يَدِي؛ تَضْطَجِعُونَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتَضَوَّرُونَ مِنَ الأَلَمِ.
