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.

¹⁶ And He saw that there was ^(A)no one,
And was amazed that there was not one to intercede;
Then His ^(B)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.

⁵ I looked, but there was ^(A)no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My ^(B)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
