10. When lightning flashes, who isn’t afraid? When it thunders, who doesn’t feel fear?
11. The Lord threatens, and who isn’t shaken to the core in his presence?
12. The earth and its foundations shake. The sea heaves from the deep; its waves and fish are sent into turmoil when the Lord shows his face and reveals the glory of his power.
13. The one who shoots the arrow is mighty in glory; the tip of the arrow he releases is sharp and won’t miss when it’s shot to the ends of the earth.
14. Look, disasters are sent forth, and they don’t turn back until they fall upon the earth.
15. Fire is lit and not extinguished until it consumes the foundations of the earth.
16. As an arrow that is shot by a powerful archer doesn’t turn back, so the disasters that will be unleashed upon the earth won’t turn back.
17. I am doomed! I am doomed! Who will save me when those days arrive?
18. The beginning of groaning and an abundance of sighing! The beginning of famine, and many will perish; the beginning of wars, and powerful ones will be afraid; the beginning of disasters, and all will be terrified.
19. What will they do when the disasters come?
