49 Yea, to whom have I sold you?

50 Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away;

51 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I called, yea, there was none to answer.

52 O, House of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it can not redeem, or have I no power to deliver?

53 Behold, at my rebuke, I dry up the sea, I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to stink, because the waters are dried up; and they die because of thirst.

54 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their coverings.

55 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season unto thee, O house of Israel.

56 When ye are weary, he waketh morning by morning.

57 He waketh mine ear to hear as the learned.

58 The Lord God hath appointed mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

59 I gave my back to the smiter, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.
