The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be (A)the voice of a great multitude, like (B)the roar of many waters and (C)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty (D)reigns.

    Behold, (A)Assyria was a (B)cedar in (C)Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and (D)forest shade,
    (E)and of towering height,
    its top among the clouds.[a]
The waters nourished it;
    the deep made it grow tall,
making (F)its rivers flow
    around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
    to all the trees of the field.
So (G)it towered high
    above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
    and its branches long
    from (H)abundant water in its shoots.
(I)All the birds of the heavens
    made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
    gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
    lived all great nations.
It was (J)beautiful in its greatness,
    in the length of its branches;
(K)for its roots went down
    to abundant waters.
(L)The cedars (M)in the garden of God could not rival it,
    nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
    like its branches;
no tree (N)in the garden of God
    was its equal in beauty.
I made it beautiful
    in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of (O)Eden envied it,
    that were in the garden of God.

10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because (P)it[b] towered high and set its top among the clouds,[c] and (Q)its heart was proud of its height,

13 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! 14 Thus says the king: (A)‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you. 15 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord by saying, “The Lord will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 16 Do not listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me[a] and come out to me. Then each one of you will eat of his own vine, and each one of his own fig tree, and each one of you will drink the water of his own cistern, 17 until (B)I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 18 Beware lest Hezekiah mislead you by saying, “The Lord will deliver us.” Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

for he says:
(A)“Are not my commanders all kings?
(B)Is not (C)Calno like (D)Carchemish?
    Is not (E)Hamath like (F)Arpad?
    (G)Is not (H)Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to (I)the kingdoms of the idols,
    whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and (J)her idols
    (K)as I have done to Samaria and her images?”

12 (L)When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, (M)he[a] will punish the speech[b] of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 (N)For he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
    and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
    and plunder their treasures;
    like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
