21 Then the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim,
    and he will rage as he did in the Valley of Gibeon,
to accomplish his work, his mysterious work,
    and to perform his deed, his strange deed.[a]
22 Therefore, cease your arrogance,

    the destruction he has decreed for the entire earth.
23 Listen carefully to my words;
    pay close attention to what I have to say.
