14 The (A)Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with a [a]population like (B)locusts,
And they will cry out with [b]shouts of victory over you.”

15 It is (C)He who made the earth by His power,
Who established the world by His wisdom,
And by His understanding He (D)stretched out the heavens.
16 When He utters His (E)voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
And He causes the (F)clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain
And brings forth the (G)wind from His storehouses.
