23 En gij, kinderen van Sion! verheugt u en zijt blijde in den HEERE, uw God; want Hij zal u geven dien Leraar ter gerechtigheid; en Hij zal u den regen doen nederdalen, den vroegen regen en den spaden regen in de eerste maand.

76. 5. Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, all thine enemies shall be cut off. It shall come to pass in that day that I will cut off the horses, I will destroy the chariots, I will cut off the cities, also juggling tricks from thine hand, graven images, statues, groves, and cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations, who have not obeyed (Micah 5:9-14).

He who is from Bethlehem Ephratah will do this, etc. (verses 1-7).

The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation cometh (Micah 7:4).

The mountains shall quake before Him, and the hills shall melt, and the earth shall be burned before Him. Who shall stand up before His indignation, or who shall stand in the wrath of His anger? (Nahum 1:5-6.)

Behold upon the mountains the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy feasts, perform thy vows, for belial shall no more pass through thee; everyone shall be cut off. The shield of his mighty men is made red, the men of might are in purple; the chariots shall be in the fire of torches in the day in which he hath prepared himself (Nahum 1:15; 2:1-3).

Say

  

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
