\q1
|

|
|
\v 1 This is what Yahweh says,
|
||
|
|
\q1 "Where is the certificate of divorce with which I divorced your mother?
|
||
|
|
\q1 And to which of my creditors did I sell you?
|
||
|
|
\q1 Look, you were sold because of your sins, and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent away.
|

|

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 Why did I come but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered?
|
||
|
|
\q1 Was my hand too short to ransom you? Was there no power in me to rescue you?
|
||
|
|
\q1 Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert;
|
||
|
|
\q1 their fish die for lack of water and rot.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 I clothe the sky with darkness; I cover it with sackcloth."

|
|
\v 4 The Lord Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught,
|
||
|
|
\q1 so that I speak a sustaining word to the weary one;
|
||
|
|
\q1 he wakes me morning by morning; he awakens my ear to hear like those who are taught.

\v 5 The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear,
|
||
|
|
\q1 and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away backward.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard;
|
||
|
|
\q1 I did not hide my face from acts of shame and spitting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced;
|
||
|
|
\q1 so I have made my face like flint, for I know that I will not be put to shame.

\q1
|

\v 8 He who will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another.
|
||
|
|
\q1 Who is my accuser? Let him come near to me.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 See, the Lord Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty?
|
||
|
|
\q1 See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.

\v 10 Who among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant?
|
||
|
|
\q1 Who walks in deep darkness without light?
|
||
|
|
\q1 He should trust in the name of Yahweh and lean on his God.

\v 11 Look, all you who light fires, who equip yourselves with torches:
|
||
|
|
\q1 walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have ignited.
|
||
|
|
\q1 This is what you have received from me: you will lie down in a place of pain.
