Study Note
God's rhetorical questions — 'Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement? whom have I put away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?' — respond to Israel's complaint that God has abandoned them by reversing the accusation: no divorce document was issued, no sale to creditors was made; Israel's exile is self-caused. The marriage metaphor for the divine-Israel covenant, developed extensively in Hosea 1-3, Jeremiah 2-3, and Ezekiel 16, makes divorce the category for covenant dissolution — and God insists he has not issued the bill (Deuteronomy 24:1 required written documentation). The verse begins the Third Servant Song (50:4-11), which opens with God's faithfulness contrasted to Israel's rebellion — the Servant's response to rejection (v. 6: 'I gave my back to the smiters') presupposing this unbroken divine commitment. The text shaped Christian reflection on divorce, on Israel's exile, and on the nature of covenant fidelity.
