13 I will comfort you there
like a mother
    comforting her child.”

14 When you see this happen,
    you will celebrate;
your strength will return
    faster than grass can sprout.
Then everyone will know
that the Lord provides help
    for his servants,
but he is angry
    with his enemies.
15 The Lord will come down
like a whirlwind
    with his flaming chariots.
He will be furiously angry
and punish his enemies
    with fire.

the hand(E) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(F)
    but his fury(G) will be shown to his foes.

    and his chariots(I) are like a whirlwind;(J)

    and his rebuke(K) with flames of fire.
