Isaiah 50:1

Easy-to-Read Version

50 This is what the Lord says:
“People of Israel, you say that I divorced your mother, Jerusalem.
    But where is the legal paper that proves I divorced her?
My children, did I owe money to someone?
    Did I sell you to pay a debt?
No, you were sold because of the bad things you did.
    Your mother was sent away because of the bad things you did.
