14 The Lord of heavenly forces has sworn by his own name:
    I’m going to fill your cities[a]
        with soldiers like a swarm of locusts;
    they will celebrate their victory over you.

15 God made the earth by his might,
    shaped the world by his wisdom,
        and crafted the skies by his knowledge.
16 At the sound of God’s voice,
    the heavenly waters roar.
        God raises the clouds from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
    and sends the wind from his treasuries.
