Why was no one there when I came?
Why was there no one to answer when I called?
Is my arm too weak to redeem?(A)
Or do I have no power to rescue?
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.

When I came, why was there no one?
    When I called, why was there no one to answer?(A)
Was my arm too short(B) to deliver you?
    Do I lack the strength(C) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke(D) I dry up the sea,(E)
    I turn rivers into a desert;(F)
their fish rot for lack of water
    and die of thirst.

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 stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

He rebukes the sea and dries it up,
and he makes all the rivers run dry.(A)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(B)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
The mountains quake before him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[a][b] at his presence—
the world and all who live in it.(C)
Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his burning anger?(D)
His wrath is poured out like fire;(E)
even rocks are shattered before him.

He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
