50This is what the LORD says: "Where is your mother's certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of my creditors did I sell you? Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.H559H3068H5612H517H3748H7971H5383H4376H5771H4376H6588H517H79712When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Was my arm too short to deliver you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you? By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea, I turn rivers into a desert; their fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.H935H376H7121H6030H3027H7114H7114H6304H3581H5337H1606H2717H3220H7760H5104H4057H1710H887H4325H4191H67723I clothe the heavens with darkness and make sackcloth its covering."H3847H8064H6940H7760H8242H36824The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.H136H3069H5414H3956H3928H3045H5790H1697H3287H5782H1242H1242H5782H241H8085H39285The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away.H136H3069H6605H241H4784H5472H2686I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.H5414H1460H5221H3895H4803H5641H6440H3639H75367Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.H136H3069H5826H3637H7760H6440H2496H3045H9548He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who are my accusers? Let them confront me!H7138H6663H7378H5975H3162H1167H4941H50669It is the Sovereign LORD who helps me. Who will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.H136H3069H5826H7561H1086H899H6211H39810Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the word of his servant? Let those who walk in the dark, who have no light, trust in the name of the LORD and rely on their God.H3373H3068H8085H6963H5650H1980H2825H5051H982H8034H3068H8172H43011But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment.H6919H784H247H2131H3212H217H784H2131H1197H3027H7901H4620

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
