Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
World English Bible (WEB)
Wherefore, when I came{H935}{(H8804)}, was there no man{H376}? when I called{H7121}{(H8804)}, was there none to answer{H6030}{(H8802)}? Is my hand{H3027} shortened{H7114}{(H8804)} at all{H7114}{(H8800)}, that it cannot redeem{H6304}? or have I no power{H3581} to deliver{H5337}{(H8687)}? behold, at my rebuke{H1606} I dry up{H2717}{(H8686)} the sea{H3220}, I make{H7760}{(H8799)} the rivers{H5104} a wilderness{H4057}: their fish{H1710} stinketh{H887}{(H8799)}, because there is no water{H4325}, and dieth{H4191}{(H8799)} for thirst{H6772}.
Strong's King James
Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.
