That says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers:
All Commentaries on Isaiah 44:27 Go To Isaiah 44
Basil the Great
AD 379
Yet there will be a time when all things will be burned up by fire, as Isaiah says when he addresses the God of the universe: [You] “who say to the deep, ‘Be thou desolate, and I will dry up all your rivers.’ ” Casting aside, therefore, the wisdom that has been turned into foolishness, receive with us the teaching of truth, homely in speech but infallible in doctrine.
