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.

⁵ The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁵ The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

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 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.

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.

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

² as when fire kindles the brushwood, [and] the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!

³ When you did terrible things which we didn't look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.

⁴ Yahweh, when you went forth out of Seir, When you marched out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the sky also dropped, Yes, the clouds dropped water.

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.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

¹¹ Therefore since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

¹² looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

⁴ His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

² As smoke is driven away, So drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
