God is on Mount Perazim

21 For the Lord will stand upon[a] Mount Perazim,[b]
    he will rouse himself in[c] the Valley of Gibeon;
to carry out his work—
    his strange deed,
and to perform his task—
    his alien task!
22 But as for you,[d] don’t start mocking,
    or your chains will become tighter;
for I have heard from the Lord[e] of the Heavenly Armies about destruction,
    and it is decreed against the whole land.

The God who Plows and Harvests

23 “Pay attention!
    Listen to what I have to say;
Pay attention,
    and hear my speech.

21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(A)

to do his work,(C) his strange work,
    and perform his task, his alien task.

    pay attention and hear what I say.
