shall know that I am the Lord, thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One
of Jacob.
"Thus saith the Lord: What is the bill of this divorcement, wherewith I have
put away the synagogue? and why have I delivered it into the hand of your
enemies? Is it not for your iniquities and for your transgressions that I
have put it away?
"For I came, and no man received me; I called and there was none to hear. Is
my arm shortened, that I cannot redeem?
"Therefore I will show the tokens of mine anger; I will clothe the heavens
with darkness, and make sackcloth their covering.
"The Lord 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 hath opened mine ear, and I
have listened to Him as a master.
"The Lord hath revealed His will, and I was not rebellious.
"I gave my body to the smiters, and my cheeks to outrage; I hid not my face
from shame and spitting. But the Lord hath helped me; therefore I have not
been confounded.
"He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? who will be mine
adversary, and accuse me of sin, God himself being my protector?
"All men shall pass away, and be consumed by time; let those that fear God
hearken to the voice of His servant; let him that languisheth in darkness
put his trust
