Isaias

2 Why came I, and there was no man? Whycalled I, and. there was none that answered? Is my hand utterly too shortened to redeem? and is there no power in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I will dry up the sea, I will make rivers a wilderness; their fish stink for want of water, and die with thirst.

3 I will clothe the heavens in blackness, and make sackcloth their covering.

4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of disciples, that I should know how to sustain the weary with a word ; he wakeneth every morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as disciples.
