⁴² I beat them fine as ^(A)dust before the wind;
    I cast them out like ^(B)the mire of the streets.

⁵ They shall be like mighty men in battle,
    ^(A)trampling the foe in the mud of the streets;
they shall fight because the Lord is with them,
    and they shall put to shame ^(B)the riders on horses.

⁶ Against a ^(A)godless nation I send him,
    and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take ^(B)spoil and seize plunder,
    and to ^(C)tread them down like the mire of the streets.

^15 (A)Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
    new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh ^(B)the mountains and crush them,
    and you shall make the hills like chaff;
^16 (C)you shall winnow them, and ^(D)the wind shall carry them away,
    and the tempest shall scatter them.
^(E)And you shall rejoice in the Lord;
    in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.

¹⁰ For the hand of the Lord will rest ^(A)on this mountain,
    and ^(B)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
    as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.^[a]
