² Why was there ^(A)no one when I came?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is My ^(B)hand so short that it cannot redeem?
Or do I have no power to rescue?
Behold, I ^(C)dry up the sea with My rebuke,
I ^(D)turn rivers into a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water,
And die of thirst.

59 Behold, ^(A)the Lord’s hand is not so short
That it cannot save;
^(B)Nor is His ear so dull
That it cannot hear.
