6 Can anyone ward off a hungry lion in the woods? Or put out a fire in dried hay, once it has begun to burn?
7 Or repel an arrow shot by a strong archer?
8 The Lord God sends disasters; who can ward them off?
9 His anger blazes like fire; who can extinguish it?
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.
