3 Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power; he will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished. He marches in storm wind and in gale; storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
5 Mountains quake before him; the hills shake apart. The earth heaves before him— the world and all her inhabitants.
6 His indignation—who can stand before it? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; rocks are shattered before him.
7 Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress; he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end; he will chase his enemies into darkness.
9 What do you plot against Yahweh? He will completely destroy it; trouble will not rise up a second time!
