CHAPTER 50.
THUS saith the Lord: What is this bill of the divorce of your mother,
with which I have put her away? or who is my creditor, to whom I sold you:
behold you are sold for your iniquities, and for your wicked deeds have I put
your mother away.
2 Because I came, and there was not a man: I called,
and there was none that would hear. Is my hand shortened and become little,
that I cannot redeem? or is there no strength in me to deliver? Behold at my
rebuke I will make the sea a desert, I will turn the rivers into dry land: the
fishes shall rot for want of water, and shall die for thirst.
3 I will clothe the heavens with darkness, and will
make sackcloth their covering.
4 The Lord hath given me a learned tongue, that I
should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the
morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.
5 The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist:
I have not gone back.
6 I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks
to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that
rebuked me, and spit upon me.
7 The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not
confounded: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I
shall not be confounded.
8 He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with
me? let us stand together, who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that
shall condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall
eat them up.
10 Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that
heareth the voice of his servant, that hath walked in darkness, and hath no
light? let him hope in the name of the Lord, and lean upon his God.
11 Behold all you that kindle a fire, encompassed with
dames, walk in the light of your fire, and in the dames which you have kindled:
this is done to you by my hand, you shall sleep in sorrows.
