and terror will do so inside;
they will destroy
the infant and the gray-haired man.

144:12 Then
that quickly grow to full size.
Our daughters will be like corner pillars,
carved like those in a palace.
144:13 Our storehouses
providing all kinds of food.
Our sheep will multiply by the thousands
and fill
144:14 Our cattle will be weighted down with produce.

40:30 Even youths get tired and weary;

41:19 I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness;
I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the desert.
41:20 I will do this so
so they will pay attention and understand
that the Lord’s power
and that the Holy One of Israel has brought it into being.”
48:18 Come down from your place of honor;
sit on the dry ground,
For the one who will destroy Moab will attack you;
he will destroy your fortifications.

have fallen by the sword.
You killed them when you were angry;
you slaughtered them without mercy.
2:3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked,
and expose her like she was when she was born.
I will turn her land into a wilderness
and make her country a parched land,
so that I might kill
