Isaiah 50:2-6 Wherefore, I came, and no man? I called and none answered. Being short, was my hand shortened from redeeming? and if not power in me to deliver behold, in my rebuke I will dry up the sea; I will set the rivers a desert: their fish shall stink from no water, and they shall die with thirst

Being short, was my hand shortened from redeeming? and if not power in me to deliver behold, in my rebuke I will dry up the sea; I will set the rivers a desert: their fish shall stink from no water, and they shall die with thirst ³ I will put darkness upon the heavens, and I will put sackcloth their covering. ⁴ The Lord Jehovah gave to me the tongue of the expert to know to help the weary with a word: he will rouse up in the morning by morning, he will rouse up to me the ear to hear as the expert ⁵ The Lord Jehovah opened to me the ear and I opposed not, and I drew not back. ⁶ My back I gave to those smiting, and my cheeks to those tearing out the hair: and my face I hid not from shame and spittle.
