15 I will make of you a threshing sledge,
    sharp, new, full of teeth,
To thresh the mountains and crush them,
    to make the hills like chaff.
16 When you winnow them, the wind shall carry them off,
    the storm shall scatter them.
But you shall rejoice in the Lord;
    in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.

17 The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain,
    their tongues are parched with thirst.
I, the Lord, will answer them;
    I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,(A)
    new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains(B) and crush them,
    and reduce the hills to chaff.(C)
16 You will winnow(D) them, the wind will pick them up,
    and a gale(E) will blow them away.(F)
But you will rejoice(G) in the Lord
    and glory(H) in the Holy One(I) of Israel.

17 “The poor and needy search for water,(J)
    but there is none;
    their tongues are parched with thirst.(K)
But I the Lord will answer(L) them;
    I, the God of Israel, will not forsake(M) them.
