Judah believes that the Lord has abandoned them. He gently lets the know that He hasn't sold them of to a creditor, but that they have sold themselves. What beautiful imagery! And it fit so perfectly. The adversary tries to ensnare us, tries to hold us in bondage, but the only way he can do that is if we turn our agency over to him through our sin, and our choices. But just as satan seeks to keep us in bondage. Christ can break those bands and make us free!
