    that the locust has eaten,
the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,
    my mighty troops that I sent against you.

    and praise the name of Yahweh your God,
    who has dealt with you wondrously.[a]

and I am Yahweh,
    your God, and there is no other.
My people will never be ashamed again.[c]
