Isaiah 50:2

When I came, why was no one there?
When I called, why did no one answer?
Is my hand too short to buy you back?
Do I not have the strength to rescue you?
Look, when I speak sharply, the sea dries up.
I turn the rivers into a desert.
The fish rot because there is no water.
They die of thirst.
