50 (A)The Lord says,

“Do you think I sent my people away
    like a man who divorces his wife?
    Where, then, are the papers of divorce?
Do you think I sold you into captivity
    like a man who sells his children as slaves?
No, you went away captive because of your sins;
    you were sent away because of your crimes.

“Why did my people fail to respond
    when I went to them to save them?
Why did they not answer when I called?
Am I too weak to save them?
I can dry up the sea with a command
    and turn rivers into a desert,
    so that the fish in them die for lack of water.
I can make the sky turn dark,
    as if it were in mourning for the dead.”
