Discovery BoxIsaiah 5:25 
Context5:25 So the Lord is furious 1 with his people;
he lifts 2 his hand and strikes them.
The mountains shake,
and corpses lie like manure 3 in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again. 4
Isaiah 37:24
Context37:24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master, 5
‘With my many chariots I climbed up
the high mountains,
the slopes of Lebanon.
I cut down its tall cedars
and its best evergreens.
I invaded its most remote regions, 6
its thickest woods.
Isaiah 44:23
Context44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 7
shout out, you subterranean regions 8 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 9
For the Lord protects 10 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 11
