Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
But their Defender is incredibly strong, the LORD Almighty, that's his name. He's going to fight hard for their case, bringing peace back to the land while completely disrupting life for the people of Babylon.
When God fights for you, he doesn't just win, he makes sure you get the peace you deserve.
