Isaiah 50:2-4

American Standard Version

² Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot 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. ³ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

⁴ The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of ^[a]them that are taught, that I may know how ^[b]to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as ^[c]they that are taught.
