[1]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971[H8765]? or which of my creditorsH5383[H8802] is it to whom I have soldH4376[H8804] you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376[H8738] yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.[H8795]
[2]Wherefore, when I cameH935[H8804], was there no manH376? when I calledH7121[H8804], was there none to answerH6030[H8802]? Is my handH3027 shortenedH7114[H8804] at allH7114[H8800], that it cannot redeemH6304? or have I no powerH3581 to deliverH5337[H8687]? behold, at my rebukeH1606 I dry upH2717[H8686] the seaH3220, I makeH7760[H8799] the riversH5104 a wildernessH4057: their fishH1710 stinkethH887[H8799], because there is no waterH4325, and diethH4191[H8799] for thirstH6772.
[3]I clotheH3847[H8686] the heavensH8064 with blacknessH6940, and I makeH7760[H8799] sackclothH8242 their coveringH3682.
[4]The LordH136 GODH3069 hath givenH5414[H8804] me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045[H8800] how to speakH5790[H8800] a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782[H8686] morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782[H8686] mine earH241 to hearH8085[H8800] as the learnedH3928.
[5]The LordH136 GODH3069 hath openedH6605[H8804] mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784[H8804], neither turned awayH5472[H8738] backH268.
[6]I gaveH5414[H8804] my backH1460 to the smitersH5221[H8688], and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803[H8802] the hair: I hidH5641[H8689] not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
[7]For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826[H8799] me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637[H8738]: therefore have I setH7760[H8804] my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045[H8799] that I shall not be ashamedH954.[H8799]
[8]He is nearH7138 that justifiethH6663[H8688] me; who will contendH7378[H8799] with me? let us standH5975[H8799] togetherH3162: who is mine adversaryH1167[H4941]? let him come nearH5066 to meH8799.
[9]Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826[H8799] me; who is he that shall condemnH7561[H8686] me? lo, they all shall wax oldH1086[H8799] as a garmentH899; the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398.[H8799]
[10]Who is among you that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, that obeyethH8085[H8802] the voiceH6963 of his servantH5650, that walkethH1980[H8804] in darknessH2825, and hath no lightH5051? let him trustH982[H8799] in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and stayH8172[H8735] upon his GodH430.
[11]Behold, all ye that kindleH6919[H8802] a fireH784, that compass yourselves aboutH247[H8764] with sparksH2131: walkH3212[H8798] in the lightH217 of your fireH784, and in the sparksH2131 that ye have kindledH1197[H8765]. This shall ye have of mine handH3027; ye shall lie downH7901[H8799] in sorrowH4620.
