Isaiah 50:2-4

New Century Version

² I came home and found no one there;
    I called, but no one answered.
Do you think I am not able to save you?
    Do I not have the power to save you?
Look, I need only to shout and the sea becomes dry.
    I change rivers into a desert,
and their fish rot because there is no water;
    they die of thirst.
³ I can make the skies dark;
    I can make them black like clothes of sadness.”

⁴ The Lord God gave me the ability to teach
    so that I know what to say to make the weak strong.
Every morning he wakes me.
    He teaches me to listen like a student.
