Isa 50:2 | HCSB | STEP | Why was no one there when I came ? Why was there no one to answer when I called ? Is My hand too short to redeem ? Or do I have no power to deliver ? Look , I dry up the sea by My rebuke ; I turn the rivers into a wilderness ; their fish rot because of lack of water and die of thirst .

Isaiah 50:2

2 Why was no one there when I came?
Why was there no one to answer when I called?
Is My hand too short to redeem? ^a
Or do I have no power to deliver?
Look, I dry up the sea by My rebuke; ^b
I turn the rivers into a wilderness;
their fish rot because of lack of water
and die of thirst.
