Isaiah 50:1
Douay-Rheims
Thus saith the Lord: What is this bill of the divorce of your mother, with which I have put her away? or who is my creditor, to whom I sold you: behold you are sold for your iniquities, and for your wicked deeds have I put your mother away.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Th* selling of a debtor, for the satisfaction of claims against him, serves as an image of the voluntary bondage which the sinner contracts ; his offences placing him in the power of his enemy. " Your sins and crimes sold you to demons ; so that, being entangled in the pleasures of this world, you forsook your mother, as she forsook her Spouse." St. Jerome.
