(Our Sin and the Servant’s Obedience) Isaiah 50:1-2. This is what the Lord says:“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorcewith which I sent her away?Or to which of my creditorsdid I sell you?Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.2 When I came, why was there no one?When I called, why was there no one to answer?Was my arm too short to deliver you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you?By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea,I turn rivers into a desert;their fish rot for lack of waterand die of thirst.
