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.

    and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(D)

23 Listen(G) and hear my voice;
    pay attention and hear what I say.
