Isaiah 50:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ I can cause the sky to become dark,
    as if I have covered it with sackcloth.’

⁴ ‘The Almighty Lord has given his message to me, his servant.
    I speak it on his behalf.
I know what to say to help weak and tired people.
The Lord wakes me up every morning
    so that I can learn something.
I listen carefully to him,
    as a student listens to his teacher.
⁵ The Almighty Lord has spoken clearly to me.
I have accepted his message,
    and I have not turned back.
