5. The mountains tremble before him,the hills convulse;the earth is laid waste before him,the world and all its inhabitants are laid waste.
6. No one can withstand his indignation!No one can resist his fierce anger!His wrath is poured out like volcanic fire,boulders are broken up as he approaches.
7. The Lord is good – indeed, he is a fortress in time of distress,and he protects those who seek refuge in him.
8. But with an overwhelming floodhe will make a complete end of Nineveh;he will drive his enemies into darkness.
9. Whatever you plot against the Lord, he will completely destroy! Distress will not arise a second time.
