to do his work, his strange work,

and perform his task, his alien task.

21For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,

He will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon,

To do His task, His 28:21 Lit task is strangeunusual task,

And to work His work, His 28:21 Lit work is foreignextraordinary work.

21For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,

He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,

To do His task, His unusual task,

And to work His work, His extraordinary work.

21For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,

He will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon,

To do His work, His unusual and incredible work,

And to accomplish His work, His extraordinary work. [2 Sam 5:20; 1 Chr 14:16]

21For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim.

He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon,

to do His work, His strange work,

and to perform His task, His disturbing task.

21The Lord will rise up to judge, just as he did at Mount Perazim.

He will get up to act, just as he did in the Valley of Gibeon.

He’ll do his work, but it will be strange work.

He’ll carry out his task, but it will be an unexpected one.
