Isaiah 50 · Grade 4

A Face Like Flint

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 50 begins with God asking Israel a hard question. They were in exile, but not because God had divorced them or sold them. "Behold, you were sold for your iniquities." God still had power: "Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem?" He could dry up the sea with a word.

Then comes what many call the third Servant Song. The Servant says, "The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary." God awakens him "morning by morning" to listen. He did not rebel. Even when people beat and shamed him, he did not run away. In the New Testament, Jesus was beaten and spit on before his crucifixion (Mark 14:65).

The Servant was confident: "For the Lord Yahweh will help me... I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won't be disappointed." Flint is a very hard stone. Isaiah ends with an invitation: "He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh's name, and rely on his God."
