Isaiah 50:2-3

Good News Translation

² “Why did my people fail to respond
    when I went to them to save them?
Why did they not answer when I called?
Am I too weak to save them?
I can dry up the sea with a command
    and turn rivers into a desert,
    so that the fish in them die for lack of water.
³ I can make the sky turn dark,
    as if it were in mourning for the dead.”
