Isaiah 28:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 The Lord will fight as he did at Mount Perazim. He will be angry as he was in Gibeon Valley.[a] He will do what he must do. It will be what some stranger should do, but he will finish his work. Yes, this is a stranger’s job. 22 Now don’t complain about these things. If you fight against them, you will only tighten the ropes around you.
The words I heard will not change. They came from the Lord God All-Powerful, the ruler of all the earth, and these things will be done.
The Lord Punishes Fairly
23 Listen closely to the message I am telling you.

Isaiah 28:21-23
New International Version
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(A)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(B)—
to do his work,(C) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(D)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(E) against the whole land.(F)
23 Listen(G) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
