21. The Lord will fight as he did at Mount Perazim and in the valley of Gibeon, in order to do what he intends to do — strange as his actions may seem. He will complete his work, his mysterious work.
22. Don't laugh at the warning I am giving you! If you do, it will be even harder for you to escape. I have heard the Lord Almighty's decision to destroy the whole country.
23. Listen to what I am saying; pay attention to what I am telling you.
24. No farmer goes on constantly ploughing his fields and getting them ready for sowing.
