¹⁵ “I will ^(A)lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will ^(B)make the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.

² “Why was there ^(A)no man when I came?
When I called, why was there none to answer?
Is My ^(B)hand so short that it cannot ransom?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Behold, I ^(C)dry up the sea with My rebuke,
I ^(D)make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water
And die of thirst.

“Behold, I am going to ^(A)plead your case
And ^(B)exact full vengeance for you;
And ^(C)I will dry up her ^[a]sea
And make her fountain dry.
