Thussaith the LORD, Where is the bill of yourmother’sdivorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I havesold you? Behold, for youriniquitieshave ye soldyourselves, and for yourtransgressions is yourmother put away.
Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was therenone to answer? Is my handshortened at all, that it cannotredeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: theirfishstinketh, becausethere is no water, and dieth for thirst.
The Lord GOD hathgiven me the tongue of the learned, that I shouldknow how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakenethmorning by morning, he wakenethmine ear to hear as the learned.
Who is among you thatfeareth the LORD, thatobeyeth the voice of his servant, thatwalketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stayupon his God.
Behold, all ye thatkindle a fire, thatcompassyourselvesaboutwithsparks: walk in the light of yourfire, and in the sparksthat ye havekindled. Thisshall ye have of minehand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
