The LORD stretched out his hand, touched my mouth, and then told me, "Look, I've put my words in your mouth.

I heard a cry like that of a woman in labor, anguish like one giving birth to her firstborn, the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for air, stretching out her hand: "Woe is me! I'm about to faint in front of killers!"

Their houses will be turned over to others their fields and wives together when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land," declares the LORD.

The LORD is the one who made the world by his power, who established the earth by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

"Look, I'm against you, destroying mountain, who destroys the whole earth," declares the LORD. "I'll stretch out my hand against you and roll you down from the crags. And I'll make you a burned-out mountain.
