¹³ The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, ^(A)yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies.

¹⁴ “I have held My peace a long time,
I have been still and restrained Myself.
Now I will cry like a woman in ^[a]labor,
I will pant and gasp at once.
¹⁵ I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
And dry up all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers coastlands,
And I will dry up the pools.
