Isaiah 42:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² Let them announce
    his praises everywhere.
¹³ The Lord is marching out
    like an angry soldier,
shouting with all his might
    while attacking his enemies.

¹⁴ For a long time, I, the Lord,
    have held my temper;
now I will cry out and groan
    like a woman giving birth.
