Verse 2
Isaiah 50:2
Young's Literal Translation
2
Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of Redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

English Translation
Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is no answer. Is my hand too short for redemption? Or do I have no strength to save? Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, because there are no waters, and they die of thirst.
