12. Let them give glory to the Lord,And declare His praise in the coastlands.
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, 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 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.
16. I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;I will lead them in paths they have not known.I will make darkness light before them,And crooked places straight.These things I will do for them,And not forsake them.
17. They shall be turned back,They shall be greatly ashamed,Who trust in carved images,Who say to the molded images,‘You are our gods.’
