Verse 2
Isaiah 50:2
World Messianic Bible
2
Why, when I came, was there no one?
when I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t 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 stink, because there is no water, and die for 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.
