Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience
1 Thus says the Lord:“Where is qyour mother’s certificate of divorce,
with which rI sent her away?
Or swhich of my creditors is it
to whom I have sold you?
tBehold, for your iniquities you were sold,
and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 uWhy, when I came, was there no man;
why, when I called, was there no one to answer?
vIs my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
wBehold, by my rebuke xI dry up the sea,
yI make the rivers a desert;
ztheir fish stink for lack of water
and die of thirst.

1 Behold, aathe Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;

between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
Isaiah 63:10
10 acBut they rebelledadand grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
and himself fought against them.
