22 And I will ^abring him to judgment with ^bpestilence and bloodshed; ^cI will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, ^dgreat hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus I will magnify Myself and ^asanctify Myself, ^band I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
