but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and reprove with fairness for the meek of the earth. He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
Then the moon shall be humiliated and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts reigns in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and His glory shall be before His elders.

“May all Your enemies perish like this, O Lord! But may those who love Him rise like the sun when it rises in full strength.” Then the land was at peace for forty years.
