Isaiah 50

Introduction

Sec. 2. MESSIAH’S MESSAGE TO ISRAEL, chaps. Isaiah 50:1 to Isaiah 52:10.

The subject is resumed, and the cause of the rejection is explained under figure of marriage infidelity, not, as Zion untruthfully and unjustly alleged, that she had been voluntarily forsaken or forgotten. But the warning and reproof herein given are followed by promises of very rich blessings yet to come.
