³³ See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    will lop off^(A) the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,^(B)
    the tall^(C) ones will be brought low.^(D)

¹³ Although the peoples roar^(A) like the roar of surging waters,
    when he rebukes^(B) them they flee^(C) far away,
driven before the wind like chaff^(D) on the hills,
    like tumbleweed before a gale.^(E)

¹⁶ He saw that there was no one,^(A)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;^(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation^(C) for him,
    and his own righteousness^(D) sustained him.
¹⁷ He put on righteousness as his breastplate,^(E)
    and the helmet^(F) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments^(G) of vengeance^(H)
    and wrapped himself in zeal^(I) as in a cloak.
¹⁸ According to what they have done,
    so will he repay^(J)
wrath to his enemies
    and retribution to his foes;
    he will repay the islands^(K) their due.

“‘The Lord will roar^(A) from on high;
    he will thunder^(B) from his holy dwelling^(C)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread^(D) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
³¹ The tumult^(E) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges^(F) against the nations;
he will bring judgment^(G) on all^(H) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,^(I)’”
declares the Lord.
