Isaiah 50:1-2

New Century Version

“People of Israel, you say I divorced your mother.
    Then where is the paper that proves it?
Or do you think I sold you
    to pay a debt?
Because of the evil things you did, I sold you.
    Because of the times she turned against me, your mother was sent away.
² I came home and found no one there;
    I called, but no one answered.
Do you think I am not able to save you?
    Do I not have the power to save you?
Look, I need only to shout and the sea becomes dry.
    I change rivers into a desert,
and their fish rot because there is no water;
    they die of thirst.
