Isaiah 50:2
Douay-Rheims
Because I came, and there was not a man: I called, and there was none that would hear. Is my hand shortened and become little, that I cannot redeem? or is there no strength in me to deliver? Behold at my rebuke I will make the sea a desert, I will turn the rivers into dry land: the fishes shall rot for want of water, and shall die for thirst.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
To admonish and reclaim men. a St Jerome says, that "our Lord did not find a man. because men had become beasts by sensuality." The text may simply mean that there was no one who would profit by His mission. Prov. 1 : 24.
