Isaiah 42:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁵ I will destroy the mountains and the hills.
    I will cause the plants that grow on them to die.
I will cause the rivers to become dry islands.
    I will cause the pools of water to become dry.
