Isaiah 42:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² They should all honour the Lord
    as he deserves.
Those who live in lands far away
    should praise him for what he has done.
¹³ The Lord marches out to battle,
    like a brave soldier.
He is angry with his enemies,
    and he is ready to attack them.
He shouts loudly as he attacks,
    and he shows his power over them.
¹⁴ The Lord says,
    ‘I have been quiet for a long time.
    I have held back my anger.
But now I am ready to deliver!
I will cry out and shout and groan,
    like a woman who is ready to give birth.
