The LORD says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Deu 32:30Jer 3:8Mat 18:252Ki 4:1Neh 5:5Isa 52:3Deu 24:1-4Hos 2:2-4
Or to which of my creditors have I sold you?
Behold, you were sold for your iniquities,
and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
Why, when I came, was there no one? Isa 59:1Isa 66:4Num 11:23Jos 3:16Gen 18:14Pro 1:24Exo 14:21Exo 7:21
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t 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 stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
I clothe the heavens with blackness. Rev 6:12Psa 18:11-12Exo 10:21Mat 27:45
I make sackcloth their covering.”
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, Luk 21:15Jer 1:9Exo 4:11-12Jhn 7:15-17Pro 25:11Pro 15:23Psa 143:8Psa 119:147
that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary.
He awakens morning by morning,
he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
The Lord GOD has opened my ear. Jhn 14:31Heb 5:8Isa 35:5Php 2:8Jhn 8:29Isa 48:8Jhn 15:10Mat 26:39
I was not rebellious.
I have not turned back.
I gave my back to those who beat me, Mat 26:67Mrk 14:65Mrk 15:19Luk 22:63-64Mat 27:30Isa 53:5Lam 3:30Jhn 18:22
and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair.
I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
For the Lord GOD will help me. Heb 13:6Ezk 3:8-9Jhn 16:33Isa 42:1Rom 1:16Luk 9:51Psa 89:21-271Pe 4:16
Therefore I have not been confounded.
Therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I won’t be disappointed.
He who justifies me is near. Rom 8:32-34Isa 41:1Rev 12:10Isa 41:21Isa 43:261Ti 3:16Deu 19:17Exo 22:9
Who will bring charges against me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me! Job 13:28Heb 1:11-12Isa 41:10Psa 102:26Isa 51:6-8Psa 39:11
Who is he who will condemn me?
Behold, they will all grow old like a garment.
The moths will eat them up.
Who among you fears the LORD Jhn 12:46Isa 26:3-4Mic 7:7-9Jhn 8:12Psa 23:4Psa 27:13-14Lam 3:25-26Psa 25:14
and obeys the voice of his servant?
He who walks in darkness
and has no light,
let him trust in the LORD’s name,
and rely on his God.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, Jer 17:5-7Rom 1:21-22Jhn 8:24Rom 10:3Mat 15:6-8Psa 20:7-8Isa 28:15-20Jon 2:8
who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves,
walk in the flame of your fire,
and among the torches that you have kindled.
You will have this from my hand:
you will lie down in sorrow.
