“Where is this divorce document of your mother’s divorce, with which I dismissed her?
    or to whom of my creditors did I sell you?
Look! you were sold because of your sin,
    and your mother was dismissed because of your transgressions.
² Why was there no man when I came,
    no one who answered when I called?
Do I lack the strength to save?^[a]
    Or is there no power in me to deliver?
Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea;
    I make^[b] the rivers a desert;
their fish stink because there is no water,
    and they^[c] die because of thirst.
³ I clothe the heavens with darkness,
    and I make^[d] their covering sackcloth.”
