² Why was there ^(A)no man when I came?
When I called, why was there none to answer?
Is My ^(B)hand so short that it cannot ransom?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, I ^(C)dry up the sea with My rebuke;
I ^(D)make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water
And die of thirst.

59 Behold, ^(A)the hand of Yahweh is not so short
That it cannot save;
^(B)Nor is His ear so ^[a]dull
That it cannot hear.
