11. Let the desert and its towns shout aloud,the villages that Kedar inhabits.Let the cliff dwellers sing;from the top of the mountains let them shout.
12. Let them give the Lord gloryand declare God’s praise in the coastlands.
13. The Lord will go out like a soldier;like a warrior God will stir up rage.God will shout, will roar;over enemies he will prevail.
14. I’ve kept still for a very long time.I’ve been silent and restrained myself.Like a woman in labor I will moan;I will pant, I will gasp.
15. I will wither mountains and valleys,and I will dry up all their vegetation.I will turn rivers into deserts,and I will dry up pools.
