Jacob continues reading from Isaiah: Isaiah speaks messianically—The Messiah will have the tongue of the learned—He will give His back to the smiters—He will not be confounded—Compare Isaiah 50. About 559–545 B.C.

Yea,
for
thus
saith
the
Lord:
Have
I
put
thee
away,
or
have
I
cast
thee
off
forever?
For
thus
saith
the
Lord:
Where
is
the
b
bill
of
your
mother's
c
divorcement?
To
whom
have
I
put
thee
away,
or
to
which
of
my
d
creditors
have
I
e
sold
you?
Yea,
to
whom
have
I
sold
you?
Behold,
for
your
iniquities
have
ye
sold
yourselves,
and
for
your
transgressions
is
your
mother
put
away.
2 Wherefore,
when
I
came,
there
was
no
man;
when
I
a
called,
yea,
there
was
none
to
answer.
O
house
of
Israel,
is
my
hand
shortened
at
all
that
it
cannot
redeem,
or
have
I
no
power
to
deliver?
Behold,
at
my
rebuke
I
b
dry
up
the
c
sea,
I
make
their
d
rivers
a
wilderness
and
their
e
fish
to
stink
because
the
waters
are
dried
up,
and
they
die
because
of
thirst.
3 I
clothe
the
heavens
with
a
blackness,
and
I
make
b
sackcloth
their
covering.
4 The
Lord
God
hath
given
me
the
a
tongue
of
the
learned,
that
I
should
know
how
to
speak
a
word
in
season
unto
thee,
O
house
of
Israel.
When
ye
are
weary
he
waketh
morning
by
morning.
He
waketh
mine
ear
to
hear
as
the
learned.
5 The
Lord
God
hath
opened
mine
a
ear,
and
I
was
not
rebellious,
neither
turned
away
back.
6 I
gave
my
back
to
the
a
smiter,
and
my
cheeks
to
them
that
plucked
off
the
hair.
I
hid
not
my
face
from
b
shame
and
spitting.
