Why, 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 stink, because there is no water, and die of thirst.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 50:2 Go To Isaiah 50
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849

Sea. Babylon, chap. xxi. (Haydock)
I could work the same miracles, as I did when Israel came out of Egypt.
