8. The Lord God sends the evils, and who shall drive them away?
9. A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may quench it?
10. He shall cast lightning, and who shall not fear? he shall thunder, and who shall not tremble?
11. The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly broken in pieces at his presence?
12. The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea arises up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it shall be troubled, and the fishes thereof also, at the presence of the Lord, and before the glory of his power:
13. for strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.
14. Behold, the evils are sent forth, and shall not return again, until they come upon the earth.
15. The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume the foundations of the earth.
16. Like as an arrow which is shot of a mighty archer returns not backward, even so the evils that are sent forth upon earth shall not return again.
17. Woe is me! woe is me! who will deliver me in those days?
