Isaiah 50:2

2 Why was no one there when I came?
Why did no one answer when I called?

so that their fish stink for lack of water
and die of thirst.[a](A)

and he dries up all the rivers;

and the bloom of Lebanon fades.

and the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,

Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire,
and by him the rocks are broken in pieces.(B)
