Where is your mother’s divorce certificate
that I used to send her away?^(A)
Or to which of my creditors did I sell you?^(B)
Look, you were sold for your iniquities,^(C)
and your mother was sent away
because of your transgressions.
² Why was no one there when I came?
Why was there no one to answer when I called?
Is my arm too weak to redeem?^(D)
Or do I have no power to rescue?
Look, I dry up the sea by my rebuke;^(E)
I turn the rivers into a wilderness;
their fish rot because of lack of water
and die of thirst.
³ I dress the heavens in black
and make sackcloth their covering.^(F)
