50 Yahweh says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away?
    Or to which of my creditors have I sold you?
Behold, you were sold for your iniquities,
    and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
Why, when I came, was there no one?
    When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem?
    Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea.
    I make the rivers a wilderness.
    Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
I clothe the heavens with blackness.
    I make sackcloth their covering.”

God Helps His Servant

50 This is what the Lord says:

“Where is the (A)certificate of divorce
By which I have (B)sent your mother away?
Or to whom of My creditors did I (C)sell you?
Behold, you were sold for your (D)wrongdoings,
And for your (E)wrongful acts your mother (F)was sent away.
Why was there (G)no one when I came?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is My (H)hand so short that it cannot redeem?
Or do I have no power to rescue?
Behold, I (I)dry up the sea with My rebuke,
I (J)turn rivers into a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water,
And die of thirst.
I (K)clothe the heavens with blackness,
And make sackcloth their covering.”
