THE SIN OF YISRA EL
Thus says Yah Veh, Where is the scroll of divorcement of your mother whom I sent away? Or to which of my exactors have I sold you? Behold, for your perversities you sold yourselves, and for your rebellions is your mother sent away. 2 Why, when I came, was there no man? I called, and no one answered? In shortening, is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no force to rescue? Behold, at my rebuke I parch the sea; I set the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink because there is no water and they die for thirst: 3 I enrobe the heavens with darkness and I set saq their covering. 4
THE TONGUE OF THE DISCIPLED
Adonay Yah Veh gives me the tongue of the discipled, to know how to reinforce a word to the weary: he wakens morning by morning; he wakens my ear to hear as the discipled: 5 Adonay Yah Veh opens my ear, and I neither rebel nor apostatize backward. 6
A MESSIANIC PROPHECY
I give my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them who balden; I hide not my face from shame and spitting; 7 and Adonay Yah Veh helps me: so I confound not; so I set my face as a flint; and I know that I shame not. 8 He who justifies me is near; Who contends with me? We stand together: Who is the master of my judgment? Have him come near me. 9 Behold, Adonay Yah Veh helps me! Who declares me wicked? Behold, they all wear out as clothes; the moth eats them. 10 Who among you fears Yah Veh? Who hearkens to the voice of his servant? Who walks in darkness with no brilliance? Have him confide in the name of Yah Veh and lean on his Elohim. 11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who girt with sparks: walk in the flame of your fire and in the sparks you burn. This becomes you from my hand; you lie down in agony.
