13Yahweh goes out like a mighty warrior; like a man of war he stirs up zeal. He shouts, yes, he raises a battle cry; over his enemies he shows himself mighty.

14I have kept silent from long ago; I have been quiet and restrained myself. Like a woman in labor I will cry out; I will gasp and pant together.

15I will lay waste mountains and hills, and I will dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up pools.
