This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” |

| 11And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their pride Together with the trickery of their hands. | 11He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim.

| 12The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust. | 12The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust. |
