1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 2Wherefore, 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 stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. 4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. 5The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6τον νωτον μου εδωκα ειϲ μαϲτιγαϲ · ταϲ δε ϲιαγοναϲ μ(ου) ειϲ ραπιϲματα ˙ το δε προϲωπον μ(ου) · ουκ απεϲτρεψα απο εϲχυνηϲ ενπτυϲματων · 7και κϲ κϲ βοηθοϲ μου εγενηθη ˙ δια τουτοʼ ουκ ενετραπη αλʼλ εθηκα το προϲοπον μου ωϲ ϲτερεαν πετραν · και εγνων . οτι ου μη κατεϲχυνθη · 8οτι εγγειζει ο δικαιωϲαϲ με · τιϲ ο κρινομενοϲ μοι · αντιϲτητω μοι αμα ˙ και τιϲ ο κρινομενοϲ μοι · εγγιϲατω μοι · 9ϊδου κϲ βοηθηϲει μοι · τιϲ κακωϲι με · ϊδου παντεϲ ϋμιϲ ωϲ ϊματιον παλεωθηϲεϲθαι · και ϲηϲ καταφαγετε ϋμαϲ 10τιϲ εν ϋμιν ο φοβουμενοϲ τον κν · επακουϲατω τηϲ φωνηϲ του πεδοϲ αυτου · οι πορευομενοι εν ϲκοτι · και ουκ εϲτιν αυτοιϲ φωϲ · πεποιθατε επι τω ονοματι κυ · και αντιϲτηριζεϲθαι επι τω θω .
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 7For 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. 8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. 9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. 10Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11ϊδου παντεϲ ϋμιϲ πυρ καιεται · και κατϊϲχυϲατε φλογα πυροϲ · πορευεϲθε τω φωτι του προϲ ϋμων ˙ και τη φλογει · ῆ εξεκαυϲατε ˙ δι εμε εγενετο ταυτα ϋμιν εν λυπη κοιμηθηϲεϲθαι
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
