Isaiah 42:13-15

13 The Lord advances like a warrior;
he stirs up his zeal like a soldier.(A)
He shouts, he roars aloud,
he prevails over his enemies.
14 ‘I have kept silent from ages past;
I have been quiet and restrained myself.(B)
But now, I will groan like a woman in labour,(C)
gasping breathlessly.
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up marshes.(D)

and dry up all their vegetation;
