Isaiah 50:4-9 (NRSV) In light of current events, much has been said about the role of bullying and violence in schools. Being spit on, having one's hair (or beard) pulled out, and being beaten on are not pleasant experiences. In the storms of pain and humiliation it is human nature to want to lash out and retaliate rather than to simply endure interconnectedness of the Isaiah text. More helpful is to read 50:1-3 as the springboard into 50:4-9 and 50:10-11 as an added comment re-flecting the past experience of the servant: 50:1-3 (NRSV).

The Obedient Servant: Isaiah 50:4-9. Isaiah 50:4-9 contains the third of what are called the Servant Songs in Isaiah, which are poems or songs that told the Israelites some details of the coming Messiah. Isaiah originally sang or chanted these prophecies to his contemporaries, probably in the temple court Rather, the Servant is providing a way for God's people (see Isaiah 40:3). A way is not an instant portal from exile to freedom; it is a path to be followed. Hence Jesus calls his disciples to follow his own pattern—which bears strong resemblance to 50:6—when he says, If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek.

Isaiah 42. This is a study guide commentary, which means that you are responsible for your own interpretation of the Bible. Each of us must walk in the light we have. You, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are priority in interpretation. You must not relinquish this to a commentator The NRSV is a translation of the Bible and, as such, takes no position on the identity of the Servant.
