Scripture focus

Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot 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 stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 50:2

Theological / Devotional

Is my hand shortened? Was Judah’s subjection to the heathen due to inability on God’s part to redeem her? No! He had redeemed Israel from Egypt, had saved them from Assyria, and would yet redeem them from Babylon.

Their fish stinketh. An allusion to the first of the ten devastating plagues of Egypt (Ex. 7:17-21).
