| I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. | ContextIsrael's Sin 
 1Thus said the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?  Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 2Why, 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 stinks, because there is no water, and dies for thirst. 3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
