³ The Lord is a warrior;
    the Lord is his name.^(A)

⁷ Great will be his authority,^[a]
    and there shall be endless peace
for the throne of David and his kingdom.
    He will establish and uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
    from this time onward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.^(A)

¹⁴ You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
    your bodies^[a] shall flourish like the grass,
and it shall be known that the power of the Lord is with his servants,
    and his indignation is against his enemies.^(A)
15 For the Lord will come in fire
    and his chariots in a whirlwind,^[b]
to vent his anger in fury
    and his rebuke in flames of fire.^(B)
16 For by fire will the Lord execute judgment,
    and by his sword on all flesh;
    and those slain by the Lord shall be many.^(C)
