This is not YHWH speaking, but Yeshua. Look, "I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord GOD will help me therefore shall I not be confounded therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. "
There is a Wisdom that comes from God alone and an Understanding that is far above our own. in vs 10 and 11 we are warned of the danger of walking in our own understanding, and in Jerimiah 2: 13 this warning is restated, that if we are wise in our own eyes, we will be satisfied in walking in our own light and trying to drink from our own cisterns that just won't hold water instead of drinking from that fountain of Living Water , which Jesus Christ alone can provide.His ways are far above our ways, and our ways end in darkness and thirst, even to sorrow and death. Corruption is not an event, it is a slow process,and self evaluation and vigilance are essential elements of Descipleship.
We to must hear what the Father is saying to us we must hear with our inner ear, When hearing equals doing we must not turn back from our obedience cause what the Father spoke may be hard we must trust him to go through with his will. We know his ways bring life, we hear and are filled those that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled, then and only then can we feed the dying souls, the broken hearted with a word from God that sustains man's true life.
Moses here is speaking of the identity of the two genders, and it is a comparison to nature. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 is reiterating the same principle in the church age that we read here in this passage. Just as we are not to change the identity of the genders for any reason, so Paul is saying the same thing in the New Testament. Consider this: God made the gender differences a very important part of our lives. He made the distinctions, not man. He designed the distinctions in hair lengths, and the distinctions in clothing, not man. This nature was established in Genesis and carries through to the book of Revelation and beyond. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." God still expects us to follow His standards. Here are examples of how God's standards haven't changed: “I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering ( Isaiah 50:3).”
“ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ( Matthew 6:30)”
“If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith ( Luke 12:28)?”
Isaiah tells us how God clothed the heavens, and continues to do so. In the Matthew and Luke passages, we see that God still has the same nature for grasses that existed thousands of years ago.
Timothy Wayne George on Isaiah 50:9 - 11 years ago
Who shall lay any charge to God's elect? It is Christ who died, and is risen. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Jehovah shall help me, and all those that accuse me, they shall wax old as a garment, and be eaten by the moth. Touch not God's servants, do His prophets no harm. Jesus took our stripes on the Cross, and He was bruised for our sins, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. All of our shame is taken away. Praise God for what He has concealed in the darkness, He will reveal in the Light. It is good that after we have done the will of God, we wait to receive His promises. God is good unto those, who both quietly hope and wait upon Him. Don't light a fire, to help God, for you will sow sorrow. Only wait thou upon God, and He will strengthen you in the night season.

Has taught me to lean and trust the Lord God even in the darkest time of my life.
