Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain; like the spring rains He will water the earth.
And I will lay it waste: It shall not be pruned or dug, but briers and thorns shall come up. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.
They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at her gates; He will rescue us from Assyria, when he enters our land and when he treads within our border.
