Isaiah 50:2

And Yahweh said to Moses, “Is Yahweh’s power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will happen for you or not.”

At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm.

Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.

He makes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

And Yahweh will devote to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod.

The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.

He has stretched His hand out over the sea; He has made the kingdoms tremble; Yahweh has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strong defenses.

“But I look, and there is no one, And there is no counselor among them Who, if I ask, can respond with a word.

“I will lay waste the mountains and hills And dry up all their vegetation; I will make the rivers into coastlands And dry up the pools of waters.

Thus says Yahweh, Who makes a way through the sea And a path through the mighty waters,

“It is I who says to the depth of the sea, ‘Be dried up!’ And I will make your rivers dry.

Was it not You who dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep, Who made the depths of the sea a pathway For the redeemed to cross over?

“For Yahweh has called you, Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,” Says your God.

Behold, the hand of Yahweh is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear.

I will destine you for the sword, And all of you will bow down to the slaughter, Because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did what was evil in My eyes And chose that in which I was not pleased.”

“You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you.

“Why are You like a man confused, Like a mighty man who cannot save? Yet You are in our midst, O Yahweh, And we are called by Your name; Do not leave us!”

“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are established. So they do not drink wine to this day, for they have listened to their father’s command. But I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; yet you have not listened to Me.

“Is it being said, O house of Jacob: ‘Is the Spirit of Yahweh impatient? Are these His deeds?’ Do not My words do good To the one walking uprightly?

He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish; The blossoms of Lebanon languish.

Did Yahweh’s fury burn against the rivers, Or was Your anger against the rivers, Or was Your wrath against the sea, That You rode on Your horses, On Your chariots of salvation?
