Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Where
[is]
the
bill
of
your
mother’s
divorcement,
whom
I
have
put
away?
or
which
of
my
creditors
[is
it]
to
whom
I
have
sold
you?
Behold,
for
your
iniquities
have
ye
sold
yourselves,
and
for
your
transgressions
is
your
mother
put
away.
2
Wherefore,
when
I
came,
[was
there]
no
man?
when
I
called,
[was
there]
none
to
answer?
Is
my
hand
shortened
at
all,
that
it
cannot
redeem?
or
have
I
no
power
to
deliver?
behold,
at
my
rebuke
I
dry
up
the
sea,
I
make
the
rivers
a
wilderness:
their
fish
stinketh,
because
[there
is]
no
water,
and
dieth
for
thirst.
3
I
clothe
the
heavens
with
blackness,
and
I
make
sackcloth
their
covering.
4
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.
5
The
Lord
GOD
hath
opened
mine
ear,
and
I
was
not
rebellious,
neither
turned
away
back.
6
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.
7
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.
8
[He
is]
near
that
justifieth
me;
who
will
contend
with
me?
let
us
stand
together:
who
[is]
mine
adversary?
let
him
come
near
to
9
Behold,
the
Lord
GOD
will
help
me;
who
[is]
he
[that]
shall
condemn
me?
lo,
they
all
shall
wax
old
as
a
garment;
the
moth
shall
eat
them
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.
11
Behold,
all
ye
that
kindle
a
fire,
that
compass
[yourselves]
about
with
sparks:
walk
in
the
light
of
your
fire,
and
in
the
sparks
[that]
ye
have
kindled.
This
shall
ye
have
of
mine
hand;
ye
shall
lie
down
in
sorrow.
