Isaiah 5:25

5:25 So the Lord is furious ¹  with his people;

he lifts ²  his hand and strikes them.

The mountains shake,

and corpses lie like manure ³  in the middle of the streets.

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. ⁴ 

Isaiah 7:4

7:4 Tell him, ‘Make sure you stay calm! ⁵  Don’t be afraid! Don’t be intimidated ⁶  by these two stubs of smoking logs, ⁷  or by the raging anger of Rezin, Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

Isaiah 35:2

35:2 Let it richly bloom; ⁸ 

let it rejoice and shout with delight! ⁹ 

It is given the grandeur ¹⁰  of Lebanon,

the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the grandeur of the Lord,

the splendor of our God.

Isaiah 45:21

45:21 Tell me! Present the evidence! ¹¹ 

Let them consult with one another!

Who predicted this in the past?

Who announced it beforehand?

Was it not I, the Lord?

I have no peer, there is no God but me,

a God who vindicates and delivers; ¹² 

there is none but me.
