¹⁵ Let death come upon them;
    let them go down alive to Sheol,
    for evil is in their homes and in their hearts.^(A)

³ Does not calamity befall the unrighteous
    and disaster the workers of iniquity?

²² How long will you waver,
    O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
    a woman encompasses^[a] a man.

¹² I made the earth
    and created humankind upon it;
it was my hands that stretched out the heavens,
    and I commanded all their host.^(A)

⁷ I form light and create darkness,
    I make weal and create woe;
    I the Lord do all these things.^(A)

¹⁹ I am about to do a new thing;
    now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.^(A)

²¹ For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
    he will rage as in the valley of Gibeon
to do his deed—strange is his deed!—
    and to work his work—alien is his work!^(A)
