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.

¹⁶ And He saw that there was ^(A)no man,
And was astonished that there was no one to intercede;
Then His ^(B)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.

⁵ I looked, and there was ^(A)no one to help,
And I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold;
So My ^(B)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
