Isaiah 28:21 (100.00%)

For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.

For the LORD H3068 shall rise up H6965 (8799) as [in] mount H2022 Perazim H6559, he shall be wroth H7264 (8799) as [in] the valley H6010 of Gibeon H1391, that he may do H6213 (8800) his work H4639, his strange H2114 (8801) work H4639; and bring to pass H5647 (8800) his act H5656, his strange H5237 act H5656.

For as at mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As at the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work-strange is His work, And to do His deed-strange is His deed.’
