Isaiah 42:13-15

New Century Version

¹⁴ The Lord says, “For a long time I have said nothing;
    I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now I will cry out
    and strain like a woman giving birth to a child.
¹⁵ I will destroy the hills and mountains
    and dry up all their plants.
I will make the rivers become dry land
    and dry up the pools of water.
