I don't know if you feel this way, but this feels so repetitive to me. I get that they are talking about different lands and cities, but they seem to be detailing each one in how God will destroy.
The Lord provides and saves us when we ask.

Yes. I feel the same way. It seems like the same story over and over. What did stand out, and maybe because I am deliriously tired right now, is that the Cedar trees were a part of God's garden in the beginning. I did not know that. And maybe that's not exactly right but that's what I read at the beginning. He likens the Pharaoh to a fallen cedar, but it says, "the cedars in the garden of God". I found that interesting for some reason. In reading this it made me think of the sequoia trees, the giant ones. I realize this is being used as a metaphor, but I still thought it was interesting.
The beginning says, "Praise awaits you, our God...". It goes into what sounds like a metaphor using nature and all God can do.
