Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

Thy floods shall be turned to pitch, and thine earth to brimstone, and therewith shall the land be kindled,

Let the drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness, - Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit - deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I - Yahweh, have created it.
