saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my

for your transgressions is your mother put away. |

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. |
