This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_50:2 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.
Ver. 2. Wherefore, when I came, was there no man?] Christ "came unto his own, but his own received him not." {Joh_1:11} This was condemnation, {Joh_3:19} their rebelling against the light of the gospel; this was the great offence, the damning sin, the very cause of their utter rejection.
Is my hand shortened at all?] Or rather, Have not you, by your obstinace and incredulity, transfused, as it were, a dead palsy into the hand of Omnipotence? "He could do there no mighty work because of their unbelief": {Mar_6:5} of so venomous a nature is that cursed sin.
Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea.] I have done it, you know, {Psa_106:9} and can do it again. Be not therefore "faithless, but believing." {Joh_20:27}
