23:049:026 And I will feed them that oppress thee
with their own flesh;
and
they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with
sweet
wine:
and all flesh shall know that I the lord am thy
Saviour
and
thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
23:050:001 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.
23:050:002 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.
23:050:003 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and
I make sackcloth
their
covering.
23:050:004 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.
23:050:005 The Lord god hath opened mine ear,
and I was not rebellious,
neither
turned away back.
23:050:006 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.
23:050:007 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.
23:050:008 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.
23:050:009 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.
23:050:010 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.
23:050:011 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.
23:051:001 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness,
ye that
seek
the lord: look unto the rock whence ye are
hewn, and to
the
hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
