Lyrics
Thus says the LORD Where is the bill of divorcement Of your mother by which I have put her away Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you
Behold for your iniquities you have sold yourselves And for your transgressions your mother is put away 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 stink Because there is no water and die for thirst
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned That I should know how to sustain the weary with a word He wakes me morning by morning
He wakes my ear to hear as the learned The Lord GOD has opened my ear And I was not rebellious neither turned away back
I gave my back to the smiters And my cheeks to those that plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting
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
