I have a question about a proof text of an article of Westminster Confession of Faith. The first proof texts of WCF 18:3 include 1 John 5:13, Psalm 77:1-12, Psalm 88, Mark 9:24, and Isaiah 50:10. However, some texts have Isaiah 1:10 rather than 50:10. Which one is the original? Is this a typo or an intentional modification? Are there some variations among the ancient copies? ARP, RPCNA, Ligonier, and Free Church of Scotland Continuing have 50:10, while Monergism site, Robert Shaw, and Morton H. Smith have 1:10. Interestingly, OPC has 1 John 5:13 alone in its PDF file.
WCF 18:3. This infallible assurance doth not so belong to the essence of faith, but that a true believer may wait long, and conflict with many difficulties before he be partaker of it; (k)...
Is 1:10, Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Is 50:10, Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
The corresponding Larger Catechism #81 has Isaiah 50:10. Some old PDFs at archive.org have 50:10. Where does Isaiah 1:10 come from?
