Isaiah 50 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
Many scholars believe that there are four songs or poems which Isaiah records about the messiah. Isaiah 50:4-9 is the third of these songs. They are often called the "servant songs" because they focus on the messiah being a servant. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ)
