Isaiah 50:1-3

Names of God Bible

The Lord’s People Were Sold because of Their Sin

50 This is what Yahweh says:

Where are your mother’s divorce papers?
    Did I give her any to get rid of her?
    To which of my creditors did I sell you?
    You were sold because of your sins.
    I got rid of your mother because of your rebellion.
²Why was no one here when I came?
    Why was no one here to answer when I called?
    Am I too weak to reclaim you?
    Don’t I have the power to rescue you?
    I dry up the sea with my command,
    and I turn rivers into deserts.
        Their fish stink because there is no water,
            and people die of thirst.
³I clothe the heavens in darkness
    and cover them with sackcloth.
