[14]They shall lift up their voice: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall rejoice from the sea. |

[15]Wherefore praise ye the Lord in the valleys, even the name of the Lord God of Israel, in the isles of the sea. |

[18]And he that fleeth from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that cometh up out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. |

[22]And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. |
