4. He reprehends the sea and makes it dry and dries up all the rivers; Bashan was destroyed, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon was destroyed.
5. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, and the world and all that dwell therein.
6. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those that trust in him.
8. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of his place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9. What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end; he will not hold back the tribulation the second time.
10. For while they are entwined together as thorns, and while the drunkards shall be drinking, they shall be devoured as stubble full of dryness.
11. He has come out of thee that has imagined evil against the Lord, a counsellor of Belial.
12. Thus hath the Lord said: For much rest that they have, and though they are many, yet thus shall they be cut down, and he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13. For now I will break his yoke from off thee and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
