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.
² 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.
³ I clothe the heavens with blackness.
    I make sackcloth their covering.”
