Isaiah 50:2-4
Common English Bible
2 Why did I come and find no one?
Why did I call when no one answered?
Is my hand too small to redeem you?[a]
Don’t I have enough power to save?
With my rebuke I dry up the sea
and make the rivers into wilderness.
Their fish stink from lack of water;
they die of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness
and cover them with funeral clothing.
God’s faithful servant
4 The Lord God gave me an educated tongue
to know how to respond to the weary
with a word that will awaken them in the morning.[b]
God awakens my ear in the morning to listen,
as educated people do.
