42:13 The Lord emerges like a hero,
like a warrior he inspires himself for battle; 1
he shouts, yes, he yells,
he shows his enemies his power. 2
59:18 He repays them for what they have done,
dispensing angry judgment to his adversaries
and punishing his enemies. 3
He repays the coastlands. 4
66:6 The sound of battle comes from the city;
the sound comes from the temple!
It is the sound of the Lord paying back his enemies.
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 5
and you will be revived. 6
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies. 7
