Russian BTI 2015 - Библия под ред. М.П. Кулакова и М.М. Кулакова (BTI)
Почему, когда приходил Я, никого не заставал, звал, а никто не отвечал? Коротки ли руки у Меня, чтобы спасти вас, или сил не хватит избавить вас от бед? Одним грозным словом Своим Я иссушаю море, русла рек в пустыню обращаю, и гниет без воды в них рыба, погибает от жажды.
Что это значит?
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.
