Isaiah 501-11
1 Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your
mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or
which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold
you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold
yourselves, and for your transgressions is your
mother put away. 2 Wherefore, when I came, was
there no man? when I called, was there none to
answer? Is My hand shortened at all, that it
cannot 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 stinketh, because
there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3 I
clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make
sackcloth their covering. 4 The Lord God hath
given me the tongue of the learned, that I should
know how to speak a word in season to him that is
weary he wakeneth morning by morning, he
wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. 5 The
Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not
rebellious, neither turned away back. 6 I gave
my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them
that plucked off the hair I hid not my face from
shame and spitting. 7 For the Lord God will help
me therefore shall I not be confounded
therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I
know that I shall not be ashamed. 8 He is near
that justifieth me who will contend with me? let
us stand together who is mine adversary? let him
come near to me. 9 Behold, the Lord God will
help me who is he that shall condemn me? lo,
they all shall wax old as a garment the moth
shall eat them up. 10 Who is among you that
feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His
servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no
light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and
stay upon his God. 11 Behold, all ye that
kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with
sparks walk in the light of your fire, and in
the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye
have of Mine hand ye shall lie down in sorrow.
