50:2 Why does no one challenge me when I come?
Why does no one respond when I call? 1
Is my hand too weak 2 to deliver 3 you?
Do I lack the power to rescue you?
Look, with a mere shout 4 I can dry up the sea;
I can turn streams into a desert,
so the fish rot away and die
from lack of water. 5
51:9 Wake up! Wake up!
Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of the Lord! 6
Wake up as in former times, as in antiquity!
Did you not smash 7 the Proud One? 8
Did you not 9 wound the sea monster? 10
51:10 Did you not dry up the sea,
the waters of the great deep?
Did you not make 11 a path through the depths of the sea,
so those delivered from bondage 12 could cross over?
