You yourselves saw what the LORD did at Mount Peor. He destroyed everyone who worshiped Baal there,

Yes, you are the ones who have seen all these great things that the LORD has done.

they cried out to me for help, and I put darkness between them and the Egyptians. I made the sea come rolling over the Egyptians and drown them. You know what I did to Egypt. " 'You lived in the desert a long time.

So then, stand where you are, and you will see the great thing which the LORD is going to do.

Because of this the LORD has been angry with Judah and Jerusalem, and what he has done to them has shocked and frightened everyone. You know this very well.

Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said to them privately, "How fortunate you are to see the things you see!

I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, but they could not, and to hear what you hear, but they did not."

May those who gloat over my suffering be completely defeated and confused; may those who claim to be better than I am be covered with shame and disgrace.

May those who want to see me acquitted shout for joy and say again and again, "How great is the LORD! He is pleased with the success of his servant."

The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished; they will wade through the blood of the wicked.

People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."

May they be defeated and terrified forever; may they die in complete disgrace.

May they know that you alone are the LORD, supreme ruler over all the earth.

You will attack my people Israel like a storm moving across the land. When the time comes, I will send you to invade my land in order to show the nations who I am, to show my holiness by what I do through you.

In this way I will show all the nations that I am great and that I am holy. They will know then that I am the LORD."

The LORD said, "I will let the nations see my glory and show them how I use my power to carry out my just decisions.

The Israelites will know from then on that I am the LORD their God.
