Dear Jehovah God,
I put the trumpet to my lips! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed Your covenant, and rebelled against Your law.
Behold, he goes up like clouds, and his chariots like the whirlwind; His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!
The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, Jehovah is riding on a swift cloud, and is about to come to Egypt; that idols of Egypt will tremble at Your presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Jehovah slow to anger and great in power, and Jehovah will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. And whirlwind and storm is Your way, and clouds are the dust beneath Your feet.
May I not transgress Your covenant, nor rebelled against Your law. Woe to me, for I know I am ruined! I know he goes up like clouds, and his chariots like the whirlwind. I know his horses are swifter than eagles. How can I survive? Your riding on a swift cloud, and Your coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble at Your presence in the heart of the Egyptians melt within them. You are long-suffering Jehovah my God. Your slow to anger and great in power, and You will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. I am guilty and this is about me. I am being punished. In whirlwind and storm is Your way, and clouds of the dust beneath Your feet. May I know it when I see it and change. May I turn to You and keep Your covenant and obey Your law. Please heal me and not let me be ruined!
You will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, and will whistle for from the ends of the earth; and behold, it will come with speed swiftly.
For behold, Jehovah will come in fire and Your chariots like the whirlwind, to render Your anger with fury, and You rebuke with flames of fire.
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountain; they waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
Their horses are swifter than leopards and keener than wolves in the evening. The horsemen come galloping, there horsemen come from a far; they fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.
Place, I know all that You say is true and is going to happen and is happening. Please make me know it and be able to discern it.
You lift up a standard in the distant nation, and whistle for from the ends of the earth like a dog running to his owner; and behold, like a dog it will come with speed swiftly. For behold, You come in fire and Your chariots like a whirlwind, rendering Your anger with fury, and Your rebuke with flames of fire. My pursuers are swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased me on the mountain; they wait in ambush for me in the wilderness. What can I do?
For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against You, to rebel against Your glorious presence.
Do not let me stumble, nor fall. May my speech and my actions before You and help You and be obedient for Your glorious presence. Amen, Amen, & Amen.
