2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, 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?
Indeed with My arebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.

4 “Thea Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is bweary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.

6 aI gave My back to those who struck Me,
And bMy cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and cspitting.

7 “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore aI have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.

8 aHe is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is1 My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
