Isaiah 50:1-3

The Voice

50 Eternal One: Where is the document of My divorce from your mother, Israel?
    And to whom did I turn you over when I could no longer pay?
        No, it was you who amassed debt—a debt of constant wrongdoing—
    And that’s why your mother was sent away.
²     Why is it that when I came to visit, no one was there to greet Me;
        and when I called out for you, no one answered?
    Do you think My reach insufficient, My power too limited to rescue you?
    I need only to speak the words and entire oceans will evaporate;
        rivers will become deserts, leaving fish to stink and die for lack of water.
³     I can dress the heavens with blackness
        and trade its velvet skies for the scratchy clothes of mourning.
