Isaiah 50:1 - 50:3

Thus says Yahweh,

“Where is the certificate of divorce

By which I have sent your mother away?

Or to which of My creditors did I sell you?

Behold, you were sold for your iniquities,

And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

Why was there no man when I came?

When I called, why was there none to answer?

Is My hand so short that it cannot ransom?

Or have I no power to deliver?

Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke;

I make the rivers a wilderness;

Their fish stink for lack of water

And die of thirst.

I clothe the heavens with blackness

And make sackcloth their covering.”
