Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!” ’

He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.

The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”

Yahweh did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.

that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,

The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.

Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
