Isaiah · Chapter 50
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Where
is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors
is it
to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Wherefore, when I came,
was there no man? when I called,
was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because
there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
I clothe the shamayim with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
The master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to
him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
The master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
For the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who
is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
Behold, the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will help me; who
is he
that
shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Who
is among you that feareth 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh
in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and stay upon his Elohim.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass
yourselves
about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks
that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

Yesha'yahu51
Isaiah · Chapter 51
Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): look unto the rock
whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit
whence ye are digged.
Look unto Avraham your father, and unto Sarah
that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall comfort Tsiyon: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a torah shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
My righteousness
is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Lift up your eyes to the shamayim, and look upon the earth beneath: for the shamayim shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart
is my torah; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old.
Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab,
and wounded the dragon?
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Therefore the redeemed of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall return, and come with singing unto Tsiyon; and everlasting joy
shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy;
and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
I,
even I,
am he that comforteth you: who
art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man
that
shall die, and of the son of man
which shall be made as grass;
And forgettest 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy maker, that hath stretched forth the shamayim, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where
is the fury of the oppressor?
The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
But I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts
is his name.
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the shamayim, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Tsiyon, Thou
art my people.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Yerushalayim, which hast drunk at the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling,
and wrung
them out.
There is none to guide her among all the sons
whom
she hath brought forth; neither
is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons
that she hath brought up.
These two
things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), the rebuke of thy Elohim.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Thus saith thy master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and thy Elohim
that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling,
even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy nephesh, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

Yesha'yahu52
Isaiah · Chapter 52
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Tsiyon; put on thy beautiful garments, O Yerushalayim, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Shake thyself from the dust; arise,
and sit down, O Yerushalayim: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Tsiyon.
For thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
For thus saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), My people went down aforetime into Mitsrayim to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Now therefore, what have I here, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore
they shall know
in that day that I
am he that doth speak: behold,
it is
I.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Tsiyon, Thy Elohim reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall bring again Tsiyon.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Yerushalayim: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Yerushalayim.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Elohim.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will go before you; and the Elohim of Yisra'el
will be your rereward.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for
that which had not been told them shall they see; and
that which they had not heard shall they consider.
