Like heatin drought,You subduethe uproarof aliens;[Like] heatby the shadowof a cloud,the songof the ruthlessis silenced.
He spreada cloudfor a covering,And fireto illumineby night.
Thus I will punishthe worldfor its evilAnd the wickedfor their iniquity;I will also putan endto the arroganceof the proudAnd abasethe haughtinessof the ruthless.
"But you have been castout of your tombLike a rejectedbranch,Clothedwith the slainwho are piercedwith a sword,Who godownto the stonesof the pitLike a trampledcorpse.
For thusthe LORDhas toldme, "I will lookfrom My dwellingplacequietlyLike dazzlingheatin the sunshine,Like a cloudof dewin the heatof harvest."
The LORDof hostswill preparea lavishbanquetfor allpeopleson thismountain;A banquetof agedwine,choicepieces with marrow,[And] refined,agedwine.
"They will not hungeror thirst,Norwill the scorchingheator sunstrikethem down;For He who hascompassionon them will leadthem And will guidethem to springsof water.
"You will goup, you will comelike a storm;you will be like a cloudcoveringthe land,you and allyour troops,and manypeopleswith you."
