Spanish PDT (La Biblia: La Palabra de Dios para todos)
¿Por qué no había nadie cuando yo llegué? ¿Por qué nadie contestó a mi llamado? ¿Es mi brazo tan corto que no es capaz de salvarlos? ¿Es que no tengo fuerzas para rescatarlos? Yo sequé el mar con una orden, y convertí los ríos en desiertos. Los peces se asfixiaron por falta de agua, y murieron de sed.
¿Qué significa esto?
In Isaiah 50:2, God speaks, asking why no one answered when He came and called. He asserts His power to redeem and deliver, illustrating this by describing how He can dry up the sea and rivers, causing the fish to die for lack of water.
