⁵ For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

⁸ Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.

⁶ The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

¹ O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you, As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

⁵ Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.

²⁷ And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

¹⁰ The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place.

⁶ Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.

³ For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.

⁴ And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.

³ Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.

⁴ How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.

⁷ For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:

⁸ And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.

³ The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry.

⁴ The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.

⁶ For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
