Isa 50:2 | ESV | STEP | Why , when I came , was there no man ; why, when I called , was there no one to answer ? Is my hand shortened , that it cannot redeem ? Or have I no power to deliver ? Behold , by my rebuke I dry up the sea , I make the rivers a desert ; their fish stink for lack of water and die of thirst .
