Isaiah 50:2-4

New King James Version

² Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, 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?
Indeed with My ^(A)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
^3 (B)I clothe the heavens with blackness,
^(C)And I make sackcloth their covering.”
