Isaiah 50
1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
thus to say LORD where? this scroll: document divorce mother your which to send: divorce her or who? from to lend me which to sell [obj] you to/for him look! in/on/with iniquity: crime your to sell and in/on/with transgression your to send: divorce mother your
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
why? to come (in): come and nothing man: anyone to call: call to and nothing to answer be short be short hand: power my from redemption and if: surely no nothing in/on/with me strength to/for to rescue look! in/on/with rebuke my to dry sea to set: make river wilderness to stink fish their from nothing water and to die in/on/with thirst
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
to clothe heaven darkness and sackcloth to set: make covering their
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.

6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
back my to give: give to/for to smite and jaw my to/for to smooth face my not to hide from shame and spittle
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
and Lord YHWH/God to help to/for me upon so not be humiliated upon so to set: make face my like/as flint and to know for not be ashamed
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
near to justify me who? to contend with me to stand: stand unitedness who? master: [master of] justice: judgement my to approach: approach to(wards) me
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
look! Lord YHWH/God to help to/for me who? he/she/it be wicked me look! all their like/as garment to become old moth to eat them
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
who? in/on/with you afraid LORD to hear: obey in/on/with voice servant/slave his which to go: walk darkness and nothing brightness to/for him to trust in/on/with name LORD and to lean in/on/with God his
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
look! all your to kindle fire to gird missile to go: walk in/on/with flame fire your and in/on/with missile to burn: burn from hand my to be this to/for you to/for torment to lie down: lay down [emph?]
