as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself
as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work,

and perform his task,

or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the LORD Almighty,
has told me
of the destruction
decreed against the whole land.
Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
~ Isaiah 28
