Isaiah 50:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Nobody was there to meet me,
    when I came to help you.
When I called out to you,
    nobody answered me.
Do you think that my arm is too weak to rescue you?
    Am I not strong enough to save you?
Look! I can speak to the sea so that it becomes dry!
    I can cause rivers to become deserts.
Then the fish die because they have no water.
³ I can cause the sky to become dark,
    as if I have covered it with sackcloth.’

⁴ ‘The Almighty Lord has given his message to me, his servant.
    I speak it on his behalf.
I know what to say to help weak and tired people.
The Lord wakes me up every morning
    so that I can learn something.
I listen carefully to him,
    as a student listens to his teacher.
