43 For thus saith the Lord: I will contend with them that contendeth with thee, and I will feed them that oppress thee, with their own flesh;
44 And they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine;
45 And all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
46 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off for ever?
47 For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement?
48 To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you?
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.
