Isaiah 13:13

13:13 So I will shake the heavens, 4 

and the earth will shake loose from its foundation, 5 

because of the fury of the Lord who commands armies,

in the day he vents his raging anger. 6 

Isaiah 63:5

63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help;

I was shocked because there was no one offering support. 7 

So my right arm accomplished deliverance;

my raging anger drove me on. 8

2 tn Heb “and let not your heart be weak”; ASV “neither let thy heart be faint.”
