Isaiah 50:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 [a]Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so [b]shortened, that it cannot help? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea: I make the floods desert; their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness, and make a [c]sack their covering.
4 The Lord God hath given [d]me a tongue of the learned, that I should know to minister a word in time to him that is [e]weary; he will raise me up in the morning, in the morning he will waken mine ear to hear, [f]as the learned.
