⁵ For the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁸ Won't the land tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; And it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁶ The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

¹ Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,

⁵ Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

¹¹ I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

²⁷ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

¹⁰ The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

³ For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place, And will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

⁴ The mountains melt under him, And the valleys split apart, Like wax before the fire, Like waters that are poured down a steep place.

³ Therefore the land will mourn, And everyone who dwells therein will waste away. All living things in her, Even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; Yes, the fish of the sea also die.

⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.

⁷ now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up on them the waters of the River, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;

⁸ and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.

³ The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

⁴ Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.

⁶ For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
