Isaiah 50:8

Compare all

6 ^aI gave My back to those who struck Me,
And ^bMy cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and ^cspitting.

7 “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore ^aI have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.

8 ^aHe is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is¹ My adversary?
Let him come near Me.

9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
^aIndeed they will all grow old like a garment;
^bThe moth will eat them up.

10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who ^awalks in darkness
And has no light?
^bLet him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.

11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
^aThis you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down ^bin torment.

<< Isaiah 50:7

Isaiah 50:8

Who will contend with me - The Bodleian MS. and another add the word hu ; mi hu yarib , as in the like phrase in the next verse; and in the very same phrase Job 13:19, and so likewise in many other places, Job 17:3; Job 41:1. Sometimes on the like occasions it is mi zeh , and mi hu zeh , "Who is this one?" The word has probably been lost out of the present text; and the reading of the MSS. above mentioned seems to be genuine.
