Isa 50:2, 65:12, 66:4, Jer 7:13, Eze 8:18, Zec 7:11-12, Mat 22:5-6 | ESV | STEP | Why , when I came , was there no man ; why, when I called , was there no one to answer ?

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 .

and chose what I did not delight in.”
