26 (A)The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day (B)the Lord binds up the (C)fracture of His people and (D)heals the bruise [a]He has inflicted.

27 Behold, (E)the name of the Lord comes from a [b]remote place;
(F)Burning is His anger and [c]dense is His [d]smoke;
His lips are filled with (G)indignation
And His tongue is like a (H)consuming fire;
28 His (I)breath is like an overflowing torrent,
Which (J)reaches to the neck,
To (K)shake the nations back and forth in a [e]sieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples (L)the bridle which [f]leads to ruin.

26 The moon will shine like the sun,(A) and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals(B) the wounds he inflicted.

    with burning anger(D) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(E)
    and his tongue is a consuming fire.(F)
28 His breath(G) is like a rushing torrent,(H)
    rising up to the neck.(I)
He shakes the nations in the sieve(J) of destruction;
    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit(K) that leads them astray.
