4. He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.
5. The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
6. Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.
7. The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8. But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9. What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10. For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.
