13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man,
he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war:
he shall cry, yea, roar;
he shall prevail against his enemies.

14 I have long time holden my peace;
I have been still, and refrained myself:
now will I cry like a travailing woman;
I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their herbs;
and I will make the rivers islands,
and I will dry up the pools.

    I have been quiet and held myself back.(G)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
    I cry out, I gasp and pant.(H)

    and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
    and dry up(K) the pools.
