Isaiah 42:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹³The Lord goes forth like a soldier,
like a warrior he stirs up his fury;
he cries out, he shouts aloud,
he shows himself mighty against his foes.

¹⁴For a long time I have held my peace,
    I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out like a woman in labour,
    I will gasp and pant.
¹⁵I will lay waste mountains and hills,
    and dry up all their herbage;
I will turn the rivers into islands,
    and dry up the pools.
