2. The Lord God demands loyalty.In his anger, he takes revengeon his enemies.
3. The Lord is powerful,yet patient;he makes sure that the guiltyare always punished.He can be seen in stormsand in whirlwinds;clouds are the dust from his feet.
4. At the Lord's command,oceans and rivers dry up.Bashan, Mount Carmel,and Lebanon wither,and their flowers fade.
5. At the sight of the Lord,mountains and hillstremble and melt;the earth and its peopleshudder and shake.
